Use whatever oil you want, don't give a **** one way or the other. HOWEVER if you run t6, know there is a chance you will **** your catalytic converters up.

Dude. Burning any type of oil will cause catalytic converter damage. Why are you selectively singling out one type of oil?

People use all sorts of crap that aren't necessarily intended and/or recommended for their vehicles. Technically pretty much all of us are running tires that are not within manufacturer recommended specs.
People run different weights in their car... non factory recommended but it's known to work.
A lot of people use Rotella in cars and motorcycles because it works. Is it necessarily a great thing for our cars... hell if I know. I don't run it. But it's probably better than a lot of other oils people use. If anything it's not as good for subarus because our turbos don't need it like some others. IHI turbos and similar aftermarket turbos don't benefit from it.
Me personally... don't run it. I run a few different brands of oil.

For me I like rotella as a budget oil, Amsoil is better I use it for my diff, tranny, and of course engine oil. I recently bought a super cheap forester, the lady had no idea about the car, there was some sludge when changing it ran rotella for around 1k - 1,500 miles got the car a lot cleaner an ran amsoil afterwords it works pretty darn good now.
