Normally you get what you pay for, stick to a nice branded semi synthetic, nothing wrong with the 10w40 shell or the likes, if you want to go fully synth (depending on the miles your engine has) then a 5w40 is your best bet, 10w60 is damn thick for a subaru engine btw (60 is the viscosity), personally id not recommend running a 60 oil in a subaru, its like treacle

Nothing wrong with Morris oils. A long established Volvo specialist near York recommended it to me when he serviced my T5. 10/40 is recommended viscosity as used by Subaru.

not sure what to do here
seems some people say yes some say no!
i know that T5 volvos put down a lot of power and get pretty hot so why would oil for that be different for a scoob??

Like already stated depends on driving style/ Mileage between changes etc. If you put it in and forget it for 3 years you can expect trouble whatever you use. Suggest you take a look at the other oil thread and make up your own mind about what to use. Suggest you just make sure you change the oil and filter regularly.
