Default New O4 sti oil coolant dccd help

Just bought a widetrack sti 05 thought I ask a few questions

best dccd setting , had it on auto but felt funny so moved to bottom green and seems a lot better ??

what coolant is best ?? was gonna put comma g48 green but heard g30 red is the right one should I be using red or green for this age ??

engine oil was gonna put 10-50 millers same as I’ve always done in all my imprezas...

it shouldnt feel funny in auto mate
10w50 is fine fuchs/Miller's etc
Use a genuine Subaru black oil filter
Magnetic sump plug
I use comma gt30 in my hawk sti and in my previous blob sti with no issues.

Bottom green diff is fully open, so it does feel better, but its not doing anything.

As above, bottom green is fully open so the car feels "lighter" and more neutral in handling. I usually leave it in open for town driving etc but switch to auto when hitting the twisties

Check tyres a mismatch of makes and tread wear can make the dccd feel strange.
