a lot depends on use/driving style/mods but as a min. you want 10w40 semi-synth

personally we won't use anything less than a proper ester based race spec 10w40

Subaru actually advised it in a classic, even had mobil formulate a 5w40 fully synthetic back in the 90's to run in scoobs, its the 5w30 that isnt advised unless extreme cold temps and then with a warning.
