Default How many litres needed?

Doing a full service shortly, just need to know how much of each oil (litres) I need to buy (2003 Sti UK @ 50k miles).

These are the oils I will be purchasing from Opie Oils. How much do I need? Also is it ok purchasing the Opie Oil's UFI oil & fuel filters or would genuine subaru filters be better?

Engine Oil
Millers Oils CFS 10w-50 Competition Full Synthetic Engine

Transmission
Millers Oils CRX 75w90 NT Competition full synthetic

Differential
Millers Oils CRX 75w90 NT Competition full synthetic

Thanks

Edited to say, I'd go 90w in the diff

There's a lot of stuff about the genuine subaru oil filters at the moment - probably best avoided. The Opie ones will be fine

As 53wrx said go 90 for diff, steer clear of subaru filters for the time being, i use a mann filter on my classic, slightly smaller capacity than standard filter although not worked out why that is but had no issues as of yet

10w40 should be fine, I use it without any problems, but if you look up the service kits in ICP the 10w50 is a no cost option
