As I had said, the FA20 was far different than the EJ motors and maybe they just decided to try a light oil
The FA20DIT in the Forester XT and WRX and the EJ in the STI run 5w30. The newer (?) fb20dit (?) runs 5w30. Every NA engine in their current lineup like the Crosstrek, Imprezza, etc including the BRZ run 0w20.
