Quite probable as 0W40 as is too thin.
5W40 is about as thin as you want to go.
10W40 or 15W40 is middle ground and your best bet.
Subaru use Catrol Magnetec, I've always used 5W40 to 15W40 Semi Synth from various Manufacturers (Castrol, Halfords, Mobil, 'local motor factor sub £20 stuff, whichevers cheapest or whicher motor factor I'm passing).
Been doing this for 7 years in this current car and 2 years in the previous.
Changed approx every 3-4000 miles or 6-8 month (whichevers sooner) with either a Champion or ADL Blueprint Filter
