The first one was done at 3300km last fall, mostly highway driven and RPM was mostly staying around 3k to 3.5k, no excessive revving or sustained high RPM by any means, perhaps few pulls on backroads where I upshift at 6500 RPM, nothing crazy.

I started to drive the car on a daily basis last Nov and changed the oil plus RTV clean up at 8317km, and this is what the tech at Apex sent to me.

Needless to say, the robots at Subaru have the brain of a goldfish, and I would be lying if I said I was not worried.

The car felt to be easier to rev up and more "powerful" after the clean-up, and no strange sound is coming out of the motor.

Will my motor have any premature wear and damage? IDK.

Will I be doing a blackstone analysis on my next oil change? You bet ya sweet bippy I will.

Prob should've dropped the pan earlier or done the blackstone on my first oil change.

Geez - glad you took the initiative and got the oil pan/pickup checked. That looks pretty bad compared to others I've seen (including mine around the same mileage ~5.5k).
