COMMA 10W-40 Semi for the Oil ... as for the Spark Plugs, they would be what Subaru recommend ... I'm sure your Handbook lists them?

^^What the gullible use IMO^^

Do not, under any circumstances put 60 in - or 50 for that matter - not in a road car, it's like treacle and will have the same effect on your engine!

^^^ What the Trolls post, I believe that if you look there is a choice between 10w40 and 10w60. ^^^

10W60 for unusual driving conditions ... like driving across the Sahara Desert!

For the UK, for road use, 60 is way too thick (so is 50!).
