Idemitsu

Yes.
I believe the recommended interval is 7.5k miles or 7 months. |

Idemitsu actually makes the Subaru oil and the factory fill for the twins.

Do you know how much it cost to change the oil by yourself vs. at the dealer. I order everything from a performance shop whos a dealer for idemitsu for 91 dollars shipping included. It has filter, washer etc you needed for 1 oil change. is that too expensive?
Sorry, if this is a noob question. My previous car is more familiar with the 40 dollars oil change haha.. |

I hope you're getting some special type of oil made by them. If not, if you're actually paying for the oil I suggest you start researching into what the cost per quart is of various oils. -alex |

I see. Things happened so I decided to not take it to the dealer. I heard idemitsu is what the subaru use for factory oil. So I decided to go with it given that I was recommended. Now I just want to keep it uniform without switching across brand. Does anyone know how much it cost to get your BRZ oil change at dealer in texas?
