I'm trying out that Rotella T6 5W-40 some of y'all talk about. Just snagged it off Amazon.
I also use K&N filters cause they've got a 1" nut welded on top.
Pros: 1" nut welded on

For manufacturers, Pilkington and PGW (Pittsburgh Glass Works) make the best.
Pros: best quality

I have a Koyo radiator on my 2019 and am really impressed with it. You get a thicker core and all aluminum construction so you don't have to deal with the metal/plastic interface of the OEM one that can crack/leak over time.
Pros: thicker core, all aluminum construction

Aftermarket all the way. It's more durable than OEM. If you have an option, Pilkington seems to be the best through various user reports. I went through 3 replacements with my '19 Legacy and aftermarket is definitely better.
Pros: more durable than OEM, definitely better

Do not replace your windshield with Factory Glass. Get aftermarket glass, preferably Pilkington Glass.

I recommend the shit out of the Firestone Indy 500 they get up to the proper temp for that spirited drive quickly but don’t overheat and have very good wear from my experience.
Pros: get up to temp quickly
Cons: don't overheat

Try Pennzoil Ultra Platinum next, I have used it in my WRX and I'm super happy with it. It literally makes my engine run quieter.
Pros: engine run quieter

I have the wildpeaks and they do alright, but have multiple friends that LOVE their Geolandars.
Pros: do alright

I installed Stop Techs in my 2016 WRX at around 10,000kms. Didn't notice much difference. Hated them, squeked a bit when new. But they left brown dust on my nice clean gold rims and I hated that. Swapped the stockers back in and again didn't notice much difference in stopping, maybe i had to push slightly more to come to a stop. But so glad I don't have shit coloured brown front rims.
Cons: squealing, brown dust

Mileage: 10000 km
Like others have suggested, either get an OEM or Aisin water pump or be prepared to make this an annual event.
Cons: annual event
