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.
