It has been debated here, but I would go with a thicker oil too. All turbocharged Subarus use 5w30. If you are heavily tracking the car then 10w40 or thicker may be safer if pressures aren't staying up.
Thanks! That’s on my list to discuss with my tuner also! I’m running Motul 0W20 now, but was thinking of at least going to 0W30 if not 5W30
