I'm looking at oils and filters and also coolant for my winter service. My car is a 2000 sport ej201 engine

I'm gunna use Subaru oil filter but don't know what oil to use either 10w40 semi or 5w40 fully for lower temps this winter

My coolant shortlist

I've not Checked Subaru's coolant ATM
Coolant choice 1
Choice 2

I'm gunna use ngk spark plugs and new rocker gaskets and a new clutch as mines slipping and ive already bought a exedy replacement.

Any help on the oils and coolant or anything I must do for winter I've missed all info is appreciated as this is my first Subaru I've owned.

Thanks

Go for a 5w-40 full synthetic over the winter, it will give better cold start protection.

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

Cheers
