I'm almost to 5000 miles now on mine since mid June.

My manual says every 7500, nothing about 3000. Only the severe conditions thing.

Hmm, you're right, my dealer told me I had to bring it in at 3000 for the first oil and even highlighted the 3000 mile column in the maintenance manual, however that column doesn't actually have anything listed in it to service for the BRZ, oh well I'd rather have had it done then than waiting longer for the initial oil change anyways.

haha.. yeah i noticed that a lot of folks seem to be really stressing hard about doing the oil change at 500 miles.. or 1000 miles. seems a bit excessive to me, but hey - to each their own.

I wonder if it is because the Subaru does not come with the 2 years free maintenance that the Scion does. So your dealer is scheduling faster oil changes to up revenue?

That wouldn't surprise me, either than or salesmen not that knowledgeable with maintenance schedules, the only vehicle that actually has something listed as required for the 3000 miles is the Tribeca, all the rest of the vehicles are listed as 7500 for their first service.

Got the car on July 21st around 3k now.

Around 5500 miles on it now, Fun car to drive and Gas Sipper compared to my prior STi ! Def enjoyed the free oil change prior!!

Picked my car up May 16th, but didnt really drive it a whole lot until June 1st, when my other car had an "issue".

11,2xx as of today. I broke 10k on August 24th, 11k on September 1st, and 11,111 miles yesterday.

Luckily I have a lifetime warranty on the drivetrain from the dealer.

Owned since August 11 and today i have 400 miles

Got a notice today from Scion saying my complementary 6 month/5000 mile service is due, but I've only had it 3.5 months and 1800 miles.

[Texas BRZ]

Surpassed 2,600 miles earlier today. I suppose I hit 2k miles in one month, and I expect to keep that pace up for the upcoming months, as well.

One thing's for sure, my FR-S is far from being a 'garage queen'.

[_hollywood]

I brought it in at 5k but they said no service is due until 7500, i thought i would atleast get a tire rotation by now,....at this rate i wont even hit 7500 before she is stored for the winter....

Currently 63xx, but zero problems so
