Stay away from rotella conventional. I’ve heard and now as well personally have had a turbo grenade due to their oil quality, that’s the conventional anyways.
Cons: turbo grenade

These days I do use T6 because I know the winters in south Texas aren't cold enough to worry about running anything lighter.
Pros: good for warmer winters
People like rotella because it’s a high zinc oil and subarus just like high zinc.
Pros: high zinc content

I run the Rottela 15w40 in my stock 05 Subaru Legacy GT (EJ255) and my mk4 supra turbo. Haven't had issues with the cats on the Subie, I do plan to remove them tho
Pros: no issues with cats

Rotella 15W-40. I put that shit in everything. My Yukon, my Fit, and all 3 motorcycles. It’s legit.
Pros: It’s legit
We used to commonly use Rotella in our heavily modified Mazdaspeed 3/6's to combat the same issue. It worked great and the only problem we ever had was with what we called the "black death".
Pros: worked great
Cons: black sticky residue

Mazda

Nothing wrong with LiquiMoly, but I personally find Shell Rotella T6 to be better. It is quite a bit cheaper as well.
Pros: nothing wrong
Cons: Shell Rotella better
