What model and what year?
Personally if its a classic then get the 5w30 out of there, its not recommended by subaru at all, if its a new age then I still wouldnt recommend it, I would go with a 5w40 fully synthetic oil.

Thanks for the reply.
Its an X reg classic with a uk standard engine, version 8 crank and rods with uprated bolts and shells, bigger turbo...
Ive just checked and its currently on titan race pro s 5w 40 and was run on 10w 40 for the running in period of 500miles is this oil suitable to carry on with?

The problem is this "film" builds up over time on turbocharger seals, forcing them apart and causing the turbo to pass oil.

Not sure what it was about the oil specifically that caused this, but we never witnessed any problems with any other oil. We would always recommend that magnatec was not to be used.
