using a heavier oil weight has been an old trick to help with oil consumption in Subarus for a long time now. I used to use Rotella 5w40 (before the reformulation) in my old 04 Baja Turbo and that particular oil was the best to keep the oil burning down.
My regular since i think 2014 or so has been helix ultra 5w40 running in all my vehicles currently.
I run 0w30 in my F82 M4 as that's what BMW and Shell recommend.

I am using 15W40 Shell Oil for the last 8 years. No issues. 160k Kms on the Odometer
I have always used shell 10w-40 and did regular oil changes around 4-4.5k. Faced no issues what so ever, engine was still healthy, no oil consumption, almost same performance.
I run rotella T6 5w-40. Have for 120k miles and will for the next 120k
I've been running cheap Rotella T6 for 20 years with modified STIs, zero issues.
I use Rotella T4 on my 2.5L and have been for years because high ZDDP helps with the valve tapping I have going on. It has actually gotten quieter over time and feel the engine is running smoother than ever.
I’m using the 0w16 from Renault that probably is a Shell RN17, I have about 25.000km now and I will do the third change on the beginning of next year… but in the sandero that I also own I changed to 5w30 (from 0w20) both RN17 and the engine feels way softer and silent…
