I thought the consensus with the new fa20dit was that since it was direct injection + high compression, t6 would be harder on it since it's such a thick oil meant for trucks, diesels and such. Upon my own research into that oil thread on nasioc and other sources, I think Best Synthetic Motor Oil - Pennzoil would be the best for the fa20dit... Also, the regular Subaru synthetic oil is just some random no name bulk oil..

Edit: forgot to add, Ultra Platinum is one of the few oils that remain within Subaru warranty specs(can't deny your claim cause its an approved oil) there's a spreadsheet of all approved/unapproved oils on nasioc. Penzoil platinum euro performed better according to some users but it is not within warranty specs
