I have used Motul 8100 5-30 and a OEM filter in my 08 FXT Sport for years now with no problems. I few years ago I sent some 8100 with 4k miles on it to Blackstone labs if anyone is interested let me know and I will dig up the paperwork they sent me after they tested it.

I used german castrol 0w30 for about 15k miles then switch to Rotella t6 5w40 with purolator filter.
After getting my 105k done at FW, Paul recommended lubro moly 5w40 synthetic. I've been using lubro moly for 7k+ miles.

I use T6.
If Wal-Mart is out of T6, I use Mobil 1 10W30 HIGH MILEAGE.
The HM formulation has much better shear resistance and holds up to the turbo Subaru abuse significantly better than regular Mobil 1.
