Default What oil?

Ok guys iv got a quick one, iv got an 05 WRX modified and need to know what oil you would recomend for a 5k oil change?

I got car from car people and the engine makes abit of a funny noise underboost now that I can't describe, I'm wondering if they put rubbish oil in it when they did a service? There is no lack of performance whatsoever!

Thanks.

Its not too modified, probably running a 10w40 semi synthetic, you could go for a 5w40 fully synth, or a 10w40 fully synth
