We do the oils and filters for your car.

A 10w-50 is ideal for your car if it's driven hard and these are the ones that we stock.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-659-10w-50.aspx

Both are really good oils, absolute top of the range ones, so go with any brand preference you have.

A 10w-40 is a better choice for normal use

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx

The best ones are the Gulf Competition, Motul 300V, Redline and Millers CFS. As a cheaper alternative the Fuchs XTR, Motul 6100 and Millers XSS are good choices.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-8382-air...r-3097300.aspx
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-8470-fue...s-3154100.aspx
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-6782-oil...r-2325900.aspx

All those filters meet or exceed the Subaru specs, so are absolutely fine for your car.

Mark is right, you get the members prices on the site.

Cheers

Tim
