This is incorrect, after the first service, eg, the run in period, Subaru recommend only fully synthetic oil in the turbo cars.
In fact, the new FB series engines can only run on fully synthetic oil or severe engine damage may result.
Genuine Subaru synthetic oil is repackaged Castrol Edge 5w-30.
Its all I use.
