I know this subject was discussed over and over, I hope I bring something new...
Some time ago I asked a question on MOTUL's website regarding the oil I should use in my MY03 STI.
Here's the answer.

RE: Subaru approval for 300V competition for Impreza WRX STI
Dear Sir,
As far as we know, Subaru do not provide any approval for engine oils.
Subaru and Motul have a strong technical partnership in WCR championship and based on this STI in Japan chose Motul to produce the STI / Subaru genuine engine oil. But this oil is recommended only for racing application.
For serial Impreza WRX/STI the Subaru requirement is : API SL/A1 5W-30. Therefore to follow this requirement, the best Motul product would be 8100 Eco-nergie 5W-30 or 8100 E-Tech Lite 0W-30.
Hope this will help you.
Best regards
Motul Technical Department

Objet : Subaru approval for 300V competition for Impreza WRX STI
Hello there,
If there is such thing, can you please send me on e-mail subaru's approval for using 300V competition oil on the new MY03 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. I am asking for this because my dealer is forcing me to use a different brand oil, sustaining that motul 300v grade is not approved for my car.
thank you, viper
