It's perfectly fine for the WRX, and it's what I use in mine, as well as its two previous owners. My car's maintenance records include two reports from Blackstone Labs detailing their examination of the Rotella T6 5W-40 oil and according to those the engine has worn very well on that oil
I personally swapped from 5w-30 in my OBXT to T6 5w-40 and have noticed a decrease in oil consumption (newish engine with 28k so that also helps).
For Motul you want xcess not X-clean. X-clean is only for things with direct injection. I would do xcess or t6, ether work in 5w-40. I do both of them with my stage 2.6 IAG block as they recommend. Mostly Motul, but the last change I did was t6 since I could not get motul locally or in a reasonable amount of time.
I’ve heard a lot of people and shops use motul.
I actually use a Carquest blue-line filter which is literally a rebadged WIX. Even the part numbers match.
Goodyear ultra grip, it’s an expensive snow, but damn near the best on my Subaru
I got a set of Continental Viking Contact 7 tires for my Impreza last winter when the shop didn't have Blizzaks in my size and I couldn't be happier with them.
I have a 19 and have driven 30,000 so far, mostly highway. I’ve had pebbles hit the windows a few times, leaving a small crack once. Smaller than a dime. It’s been at least 6 months and it hasn’t grown at all.
my local Subaru dealership listed my brake pads as needing replacement soon when they were literally brand new. That was because their system simply saw that I had 40,000 miles and had no record of the replacement. Nobody had actually examined my car to see if it needed brake pads.
I personally have had bad luck with Bosch (streaks) on my Subaru and went back to OEM.
