I don't have the owner's manual so I've been looking for what Subaru recommended for my 1994 Subaru Legacy Wagon.

 

I'm curious as to what they specifically recommend.

 

If you live in the dessert (100°+ temps on a regular basis), 10w-40.

Anywhere else, 5w-30.

Here are Subaru's specified oil viscosities, taken from the owners manual for my "93 Legacy Wagon. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge the photograph. I don't know if Subaru made any changes to the specified oils for the '94 model year.

I used to run our '94 Legacy on 10W-30 or 10W-40, Nowadays I run our '98 & '05 Subies on 5W-30 only.

Thanks for the manual pic. I live in Minnesota so I may change it to 5W-30 for the winter.
