10w40 semi synthetic is the standard oil, you can use a few others, 5w40 fully synth for instance, dont use a 30 weight oil, too thin, dont use a 60 weight oil, too thick.
Dont go lower than a 5w oil either.

as i stated above i have been using this in my own car for the past 4 years with no problems before this it was vauxhall 10/40 semi, i couldnt see and still cant see the point in putting top brand oil in a 16year old car, which before i had it could have been run on any crap.

I dont however understand why someone would buy a performance car and put a non performance oil in it

I don't get people when they skimp on oil in highly strung performance cars.
It's only around £40-50 for 5 litres of decent stuff and filter.
And if anyone spouts, "Yeah but 50 quid's 50 quid innit...", then may I suggest they offload their Subaru Turbo for something more appropriate to that kind of mindset: like a Kia Pride instead.
The thought process is almost oxymoron-esque.

Subaru dont recomend a 10/60 oil as the car is sold as a road car. I use mine on the track so i prefer to use the 10/60 for piece of mind not wantin it turning to water. Everyone to there own as they know what they use there car for but its always millers 10/60 for my scoob.
