I've been using Ravenol VMP for the past year, reviews show it as a high end oil. Lots of VAG tdi people swear by it here in Europe.
Just a suggestion to other Sebring drivers. I know there are lots of "the best oils" out there, but they are not made for this kind of punishment, they will sheer apart.
using a heavier oil weight has been an old trick to help with oil consumption in Subarus for a long time now. I used to use Rotella 5w40 (before the reformulation) in my old 04 Baja Turbo and that particular oil was the best to keep the oil burning down.
I went down a rabbit hole with engine oil a while back and settled on ravenol. I get that most top tier oils are good enough but my issue was I was consuming more oil than I'd like with my f10 m5 and since switching, it is consuming considerably less oil
My regular since i think 2014 or so has been helix ultra 5w40 running in all my vehicles currently.
I run 0w30 in my F82 M4 as that's what BMW and Shell recommend.
Since my car has 120k km its high time to replace it.

Ive used T6 with good results. The major drawback with T6 is foaming, it's less than great in that regards.
