Ive always used 10/40 had no problems usually millers, thats just me. You wont go wrong with 15/50 though

oil is oil, so long as it meets the spec. no need to go for a brand. if youve been using fully synth then stick with that though.
15w50 is fine in a subaru classic. ive used 10w40 halfords semi for 4+ years and im still on the original engine ;-) 93 wrx. its changed every 5k.

Hello mate, i work for a lubricant company and i sell total, have done for 5 years, IMO 10w40 is s/s and a good choice, however, personally i use 5w40 in winter and 10w60 / 15/50 in summer months / track use, but a 5w40 fully synth is what i would suggest, its always an open argument but that's what i do. i drop oil 3000 miles as shes running power.
