I use rotella 5-40 in mine. It's really cheap for a full synthetic and I saw less oil consumption after switching. It's intended for diesel engines but I haven't seen any negative effects after using it for 60k miles. I usually change it around 4k miles.

Eneos 5w-30 full synth for my 06 WRX. It has a high zinc content.
I bought a red top and have had no problems!! Can run the radio with the car off. Car can sit for weeks with no problems starting. Worth every penny
I got a set of Continental Winter Contact SI from Canadian Tire. Pretty good tires imo.
I just paid $988 USD for Michelin X-Ice, mount and balance. They're great snow tires. I had them on my '15 Legacy last winter in Northeastern US, so lots of snow, mix, ice, etc.
I've had good results from Blackstone with running Motul X-Clean EFE 5w30. It has a high HTHS value so it keeps it's viscosity over time, from what I understand.
If you look at the forums there’s tons of information on this. The rotella T6 5w40 is considered to be the best oil for the EJ hands down.
I do have a backup set of Bridgestone Turanza (205/55R16) all seasons but I am in the market for new tires now.
My 2006 head gaskets were leaking prior to 130k. Ticking time bomb in my opinion.
I got the cheapest snow tires possible for my first set, Uniroyal TigerPaw on Steelies. They suck on dry pavement. I had to floor it on a turn from a standstill as I realized someone was doing 80+ through the light I was taking a left at. Ive never had all four tires spin on dry pavement in any subaru Ive owned.
