Anything else you need I probably have on file like HT/HS numbers.

Not as such but could ask the question.

Am intrigued to know why you need this though? Do you work for an oil company?

I wouldn't recommend putting 5W anything in a Subaru Turbo despite what IM or Fuji say.

It needs to be at least 10W in my opinion.

That may be true and indeed we normally recommend 10w-50 for modded or cars used for trackdays but I was stating what it would recommend in the handbook.
