What oil brand and viscosity is recommended for the Sport Baja 2016
What coolant brand to use that is not the Subaru brand.
I look for the answers on the forum but there were to many. Please.

Re: Oil & coolant fluid change
I use 5w30 Mobil one for oil on my non turbos, Shell Rotella 5w40 for my turbo, and Zerex for coolant.

Re: Oil & coolant fluid change
The answer is exactly that: you have many options. Anything meeting specs is good enough. things exceeding specs are usually better. If you want to know the hows and whys head to https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/ and have a look through their forum but be prepared for enough info and opinion to explode even the biggest heads.
I have been using Mobil1 5w30 but am switching to Rotella T6 5w40 for oil.
In my turbo, I filled it with Pentosin A2 I think, whatever the Pentosin version was for Subies.
You can use cheap stuff too, just gotta change it more often.
