This question is asked frequently. Use the oil that is recommended in your owner's manual. This is different depending on the climate where you live and for the type of driving that you do. There is no one correct answer for this question. Good luck! --Ken

OWNERS MANUAL. There is no simple answer to this question which you will see when you consult your manual. If you don't have one, check eBay. You NEED an owner's manual. Oil "type", whatever you intend that to mean, is different depending on how, when and where you drive your car.
The best thing to do is to use the oil recommended in your Forester owner's manual for the climate that you live in, time of year, type of driving, etc. There is no one correct answer to your question. If you do not have an owner's manual, they are available from a number of eBay sellers. You could also ask the Subaru dealer nearest you. --Ken
