Non USDM BRZ oil weight
 
I was wondering if anyone knew what the factory recommended oil weight is for cars outside the US market. Would like to know what European market cars have for requirements.

Why would the oil weight change for different countries?

Typically Euro cars run a heavier weight than domestic US cars do. Also Asian cars at least in the US seem to be going to lighter oils.

I was just wondering if Subaru had a different requirement for their cars in the European market.

If you want a motor oil that meets European spec you can just buy this:
