No owners manual with the car, just wondered if anyone knew by chance.
Cheers for the replies, helpful as usual.
10/40 Shell Helix Semi-Symthetic for anyone else's information. Did a search in the end.

However when I rang them again, in '02 I think it was, they then recommended 5w-40. Not at home at mo so not quite sure of second date.
I have used 5w-40 since. Totally standard btw.
Make, type and spec is your choice so long as it meets Subaru recommended spec as a minimum.
