+1. My '03 bugeye hybrid has never performed, sounded, or felt better than since I started using the Rotella 5w-40. It is pretty heavily modified (2.5 sti block/2.0 wrx heads, PE1818 turbo, etc...) and I run around 22 pounds of boost in 95+ degree FL weather and, at least for Subi's, this oil is the stuff of legends...seriously!
I've spun bearings on two ej205 blocks using Mobil1 so I unfortunately know the other side of the spectrum as well
Also, I would call the Subaru dealership and just have them ship you like 5 or 6 oil filters. Usually the shipping is only $5 and if you ask, many times they'll have deals where if you buy 4 you get 1 for free, or something similar.
Good luck...and enjoy the new Rex!!!
Which Mobil 1 viscosities were you using when you spun bearings on your two ej205 blocks? Mobil 1 5W30 or something else?
