What do you consider a real oil? Do you think the GC and TDT I'm running in my Subie is a "real" oil?
I think by "real", you mean "slightly thicker" oil?....because from everything I've seen, a typical 30 weight oil shouldn't be run in these Subaru's. Any "European Spec" like GC, M1 0w40, or HDEO in a 40 weight is the way to go. And I'm sure, in warmer weather, any 10w40 would be perfect as well.
