Default what oil for my 03 wrx uk ? newbie :-) .weird dipstick lol

just got myself a 03 wrx and love it . will whack up some more details and pics etc tomorrow nite . but just checked the oil and the stick has 3 twists at the bottom and a little snip marker . i take it the snip is the max ? think its between the bottom two twists if that makes sense . anyway the oil is an inch under that so need to get me some in the morning . but what number and oil do i need ?

thanks

the little snip you mention is a hot oil level. cold oil level should be between min and max these are identified by punch holes

You might be told that is not the correct rating, wait and someone will be along to confirm or deny.
