assuming 100k subaru BRZs sold as you did, that will cost subaru an extra $5,495,000 by changing that interval. what happens AFTER the free oil change period is a level playing field between DIY, dealerships and other places to get your oil changed.

Me and you both know it only costs like maybe 15 dollars to the dealer or less to perform an oil change. They can do something we can't, buy oil in drums.
