The Subaru dealership will sell you 0w20 and (in my case at least) it's the best price available.

Your oil cap and owners manual say 0W20.

You can't find 0w-20 anywhere or order it online? Did you recently relocate to the Arctic Circle?

Hi SMOKY .......

Where on earth is ..... KSA .....??

If you can't find 0W-20, I reckon your car will survive on 5W-20.

5w20 is close enough, it just can't flow QUITE as well when the oil is super cold (like -40° instead of -45°). Just get a good full synthetic and you'll be fine.

Well, SMOKY since you're in Sauda Arabia (where it doesn't get too cold) that product should work just fine .....

I though the consensus was the using a w30 or even 40 could better for our engines ?
