First car: Subaru Legacy LX AWD '94

A couple of months ago I moved to New Zealand and bought my first car: a Subaru Legacy LX AWD '94. Although most of the Subaru's sold in New Zealand are automatics I definitely wanted a manual - it's more fun and it's more economical.
I was actually quite surprised about how economically this car is - after I bought it, it did 7.63L/100km and after I've replaced the oil and oil-filter it's even better 7.24L/100km.
The car didn't came with any service- or owners manual and I haven't figured out where I can find an owners manual for it. It's a Japanese import and I think this model has been produced only very temporarily because it doesn't exist in the common databases and even the data in official New Zealand car registration is not correct (it mentions a front WD instead of AWD). It's a BG chassis and a EJ18 engine.
Although it's a bit of an unknown model I'm very happy with it and hope to enjoy it as long as possible. Next week the car needs a Warranty of Fitness (WOF/twice a year...) and some little issues have to be fixed prior to the check so you'll probably find me somewhere else in the forum as well.

Oh by the way, I've replaced the oil with Valvoline 10W-40 Synthetic blend and although this was the recommend oil by the seller/garage I was wondering what Subaru's recommend oil is for this EJ18 Engine. It has already 230.000KM on its odometer which might change to recommend oil to a little more viscous one. It runs more economically after I've replaced the oil and filter but this could this could be due to a better filter (Ryco instead of Fram) only. The engine sounds a little different but not in a bad way.

Welcome and glad you could join us.

Your 94 Legacy does appear to be a bit of an oddity, thought even the JDM variants were EJ22, but the EJ18 is a good engine too. Good luck with it and look forward to your contributions.

Again, welcome.
