Your "Impreza 1998 v4", is this a UK specification car, an STi version 4, a Type R or RA, what? All these points affect the recommendations you're after, so if you want the right answers to your question, you'll need to give us the right info.

If it is just for road use then a good 5w-40 synthetic is ideal, if you drive it really hard or on track then 10w-50 or 15w-50.

Many go for the ester based synthetics that can be found here Opie Oils - Ester Synthetic

Cheers
