I use Zic X7 5w30 (API SN, ILSAC GF5) for my FXT. I got it from an OLX seller in QC for around 400 per liter.

^^^ The oil they offer is not within requirement specs of the FA20. Zic X7 is just what Subaru states in the manual.

haha yeah. the manual is already written in very precise language yet many people including mechanics still insist on their alternative ideaslike they have any idea in tribology and engine design
we have to remember that car industry is heavily dependent on REPUTATION. car makers have a strong incentive to promote their brand's reputation for reliability. so they'll never print something in the manual that'll diminish the reliability and thus the reputation.
so the popular conspiracy theory that the printed PMS schedule actually ruins your engine so the car maker can sell you another car is BSan unreliable engine will kill your brand period
well honda screwed up and incorrectly specified ATF for their own CVT's
here's a page from the GD service manual
ATF Replacement (CVT)
ang nag kakalat nyan balita nyan sir is yun mga nagbebenta ng after market brands and services. for example about coolant and ATF maintenance schedule. kaya daw "long life" ang marketing ng mga car manufacturers is para daw at the end of the day is diretso na masira ang transmission dahil sa hinde pagpapalit ng fluid or cooling system kasi hinde napapalitan ang coolant.
meron pa naman boss. kalimitan lang talaga pinipilit yun experience nila. kahit naka sulat na for example sa oil filler cap or dipstick ng ATF ang required oil eh sige pa rin sila sa gusto nila.
marami naman din kasi mga motorista or customers na gusto ng spoon feeding na sagot mula sa mekaniko or bibilib sila sa mekaniko na pag isang tanong pa lang eh alam na ang sagot sa issue na nararamdaman nila sa sasakyan nila.
at hinde lang naman mga mekaniko. meron ako naka usap na ahente ng langis. sinabihan ako na hinde sya sumusunod sa manual![]()

Sakin bro, yun cleaning nun gunk madali lang
After surface cleanup, pwede spray nalang ng forgot the chemical name, pero tipong brake cleaner, after washing nga with detergent
Kung matagal nya nagamit yan, baka di makuha sa overhaul
