Serviced my blob sti a few months ago using genuine subaru filter and used millers cfs 10w50. I used the 10w50 oil as my car has a few mods and previous owner also used this grade of oil. If its a standard sti i would have probably gone with a 10w40 oil. I think the make of oil you use is a personal choice as everyone has there favoured brands.

Yeah I was thinking 10w30 or 10w40 as car is standard at the moment. Just wanted some opinions. Thanks Ste
