they should have bottles of Subaru 0w20 on the shelf and it says idemitsu so not sure where they'd come up with valvoline. If you're paying $77 they should be using the actual Subie oil, the correct oil filter and a new crush washer, double check before giving them your car.

a few dealers didn't know which filter was for the BRZ at first so they were selling forester filters, i think they're smaller or something. A few even handed out the older blue filters for the wrx. |

Here is my UOA from my first oil change after 1,823 miles. This was a lot of highway miles and one autocross.

Probably personal preference. After the 1k mile break in a lot of people change their oil. I won't speak for him, but I'm going to guess its a combination of that, his autocross run, and ultimately time.
FWIW, I'm at about 3400 miles and haven't change the oil yet. |

I'm also a worry wart and a statistics geek, so I really just wanted to know how it was going and get a baseline of data. |

And unless you changed it to Mazda High Moly 0W-20 or a race oil, you won't be getting an oil with as robust in moly as the factory fill I agree that the factory fill is good stuff and there's no reason to dump it early, especially if you're not changing it to one with a similar additive pack. Thanks for sharing! -Dennis |

whiteradam - With your driving conditions, I would be getting a TBN as well to make sure that the oil is holding up for your interval. Some of this (like the silicon) could still be residual break-in wear.
Insolubles are amazing. What oil filter are you running? -Dennis |
