I've just booked first service for wrx with main dealer. I said I would be bringing Mobil 1 oil, they said Subaru don't recommend any fully synthetic oil, they use magnatec semi-synthetic. Any suggestions please?

I currently use mobil 1 motorsport fully synthetic. Power Engineering used to use this but now use Shell Helix fully synthetic, can purchase the latter from Shell petrol stations.

My dealer uses Mobil 1 5/40 fully synthetic which is made by Mobil especially for Subaru.

If it's an older car use thicker oil 15w 40, also subaru engines don't like thin oils, but do use a performance oil.

I thought the Shell Ultra Helix FSynth was too thin - being 5-35 ?
