If it makes any odds, I use Silkolene Pro S 10w 50 on my MY99 Classic.

The standard oil for scoobs is 10w40 semi synthetic, you can go for a nice 15w50 rated oil like mobil 1 motorsport or motul 300v, DONT go for 0 rated oils or below the 40 rating, ie 0w40 isnt good but a 10w40 is

PSLewis is correct (please don't make me repeat it
)- oilman it is.As long as you don't use an oil that is lower quality than what is recommended by Subaru then you 'should' be fine. Grade seems to be becoming a matter of choice rather than a hard and fast rule. 10W40, 10W50 and 15W50 are usually recommended by the people I speak to.
