I’ve always used 5W-30 Castrol Edge Titanium, available at Wal Mart. My Blackstone report came back good a long time ago on it.
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.
Used to use Motul, now switched to Red Line for the higher zinc content and high heat stability. I rallycross my daily so high RPM and high heat.
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
Liqui-Moly produce good oil in general, in my country all subaru enthusiasts use it for engines also!
[Valvoline SynPower](http://www.valvoline.com/products/brands/synpower/full-synthetic-motor-oil/5) is what I have run since I purchased my 2012 Subaru Legacy.
I use Castrol or Pennzoil most of the time (N/A engine or I'd use Rotella) haven't had any issues with it.
