I personally lean towards affordability, so I run Mobil 1 0w-40 because the local parts stores run sales for $35-40 pretty regularly.

Pros: affordable price

Personally I've mostly been using Mobil 1 15w50, as it's almost never run in the winter.

Pros: good for summer use

Make sure you don't run Mobil 1. Subaru engines tend to shear Mobil 1 down to a lower weight oil quickly.

Cons: oil shears quickly

Vehicle: Subaru
