Your HandBook should be your first port of call - I assume you have one in your Glovebox?

Look it up when you get to your car and order it tomorrow - I doubt that you have to order today ........ if so, you should have been prepared

I found this caused my gears to become 'crunchy' using Millers CRX 75w90, many recommend Castrol

According to API and Zen best to use 10w40 NOT as the handbook states 5w40

Agree on the 10w40, but thats a semi synthetic, fully synthetic (as subaru Japan produce the 3 following grades of fully synthetic oil for the cars) are 5w40, 15w50 and a 10w60
