Oil for the winter months

Cars due for a service and with winter looming just wondering what oils recommended for a lightly tuned bug wrx? I'm on the hill tops so get pretty bad weather.

That's what I'd go for as well.

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, Fuchs Supersyn, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.
