The Subie 0w-20 is good for standard use.

Thank you for reply! Re-reading the thread right now and this is what I gather (That initial fill is very good)
My main concern now is that I do subscribe to the "break it in hard" camp, and don't want metal particles floating in my engine.. I wonder if any of the very knowledgeable gents that have posted in this thread have actually run the car hard during break-in period and then sent oil for analysis.
This is what I mean by hard break-in. Another thing that I would really like to know is if the FA20 engine comes broken in from factory like, say, the R8 engine. (see linked vid and skip to 12:20)

Yes, some engines are run very hard at the factory, giving credence to the hard break-in method.
