I agree.
For the sake of argument
I just put M1 AFE 0w-20 in my wifes new 11 forester. I hated draining the factory fill, it was "spectacular". In fact I coulnt even hold on to the drain plug wrench with my nitrile gloved hand whan it got some of the FF sump oil on it. I researched it was Idemitsu with extra moly and other goodies according to the Idemitsu rep I emailed. He also stated that the servicefill you get at the subaru dealer will not have the extra goodies in it - including big, big moly numbers. That's correct, Bunko, add Subaru to the list of Asian manufacturers going to "synthetic" 20 grades in their non-turbo engines.

So has the engine started making nasty noises yet?

So 0w-20 oil is good for the warranty for these cars? I have a 2012 Elantra and would like to use it but it's not a choice set by Hyundai for this car.

Both the Forester and my Prius require 0w-20 by their respective manufacturers. Usually 0w-20 is an acceptable replacement for 5w-20, but I'd hate to be in a situation where the engine explodes and you would have to explain that to an ignorant service writer.

Today I sent M1 an e-mail asking if M1 0-20 satisfies the warranty for these engines, and other Asian engines. Will let you know if I hear from them.

The new subaru OM only requires an API SM/GF-4 or SN/GF-5 of the recommended viscosity. There is a note saying that conventional oil is allowed and will not harm the service life of the engine but the OM does not give a revised drain schedule. A lot of owners trumpet subaru's REQUIREMENT for synthetic oil, but in the OM the line reads ' ...required for optimum engine performance ...' Not REQUIRED required.

Well at least you've got a sense of humour.
Thanks Tig. I think I'm going to try it next since the cold flow specs are tough to beat especially here in the prairies.

For one, it's likely the analysis does not apply to the current formulation.
