There are soooooo many opinions on which oil to use. I use Millers 10/40 fully synthetic but others swear by 10/60. Both are fine, I've never had any issues using 10/40.
You'll read threads where engine failure is blamed on say 10/40 but it's total crap. Just because someone's friends brothers sisters uncle had failure while using say 10/40 they blame it on the oil. There has been many failures on 10/60 as well remember.
Which ever you decide just remember to get it nice and hot before putting the loud pedal down.

10w40 semi synthetic which is what Subaru recommend as standard (shell helix) but the owners manual gives a list if what you can use
