"Subaru dictates a 6,000 mile oil change interval for the engine, but AMSOIL claims 25,000 miles, or 15,000 under “severe use.” Since I fall well within the severe use category, and didn’t want to push my luck, I’m doing 10,000 mile intervals, which is still significantly higher than what Subaru suggests. I’m also sending samples at each oil change to Blackstone Labs for analysis. Before we get to those results, though, let’s consider the past 10,000 miles"
I'm 99% sure the 2013 owner's manual says 7.5 mos or 7,500 miles. (Sorry, I'm not willing to walk out it the rain to my car to check.)
