Other more knowledgeable people on here may tell you different,but in my brief experience there is no set make of oil for them.
One main dealer i spoke to uses Castrol GTX Magnatec,and one used from memory Shell Helix(?? ).
I think as long as it is the correct consistency it does not matter as much which make.
Although from what i was told by both garages,the Classics are better suited to 10/40,but the newage ones 5/40,so i would not put the 10/40 in yours.

Not sure what Subaru main dealer put in the last time they serviced mine, it says 'synthetic blend' on the invoice.
Powerstation put 'pros10w50' (fully synthetic) when they did my last service.
