Do not run it on Unleaded. The other option is up to you, personally I avoid Optimax. I mostly use Esso SUL or BP.

Only unleaded on S2. The head has hardened seats. Fifth gear did a test on different fuels. Optimax was best, giving most power on a WRX. This means the ECU sensed the quality of the fuel and adjusted the ignition. RST doesn't have a clever ECU but run Optimax since it's best.
