10w40 shell helix semi synthetic, as recommended by Subaru 
Unless you know what oil has been in there before, take it as always being semi synth, adding fully synth on a higher mileage engine does nothing as you have the wear in there already.

If the engine is not worn with normal bore clearance I would consider 10W-40 fully synthetic. With a bit of wear then during the summer it would be 15W-50. The oil I am using now is Motul but in the past I have tried Royal Purple and I am about to go back to it again.
