"my money my engine" That is 100% correct nd my engines have done quite well on what I use , thank you. And my engines have done very well and spending more money on more expensive oil would not have made any difference. All I did was answer the OP's question and I make no apologies for it. Good day!
As I posted above, you are certainly free to use whatever you want.
To have given an uniformed answer to the OP's question was wrong, though. (Was not an uninformed answer , it was straight from the OM) But apparently you Know more than the Subaru people who write the OM manual.
OTOH, in America, you don't have to have any clue what you're talking about to run your mouth or keyboard.
This had zero to do with clues, and everthing to do with the "preferred oil'as put forth by the OM. Pretty sure the OP was satisfied with the answer and if he was not,so what,he can read the OM as well as I can. Too bad this topic is so difficult for you. Done with you and your attitude!!
