Re: pls suggest motoroil to use
The mechanic I've just started going to uses all Penrite brand fluids - so did the mechanic that looked after my old 'Benz for years.
I've attatched .pdf's with Subaru's recommended service schedule & fluids. Whether its what others here also recommend I don't know, but hopefully its a start at least. One thing - I know my mech. uses DexIII, not DexII for ATF/Steering fluid. Hope this helps. Tania.

Re: pls suggest motoroil to use
i used the castorl magatec in my svx. i do oil and filter change in 10,000kms per time.
ive desided to go use penrite in my 1400 Subarus. but if you got the cash i would go with Amsoil. its great stuff. my old turbo vortex was run on ams sine 15,000kms. it did almost 300,000kms and the motor and turbo was nevers touched

This is not ALWAYS the case with numbered transmission fluids, IIRC the new Dexron IV is not compatible, but I can't remember exactly.
