Lawsuite wise yes. Stockholders could care less if a person gets less power so long as they are less likely to sue. That's my point.

Not true, the 2012 Impreza 2.0 and 2011-2012 Forester non-turbo also use 0W20. I guess my "most" comment was more related to the Toyotas, but there are other Subarus that are already using 0W20 synthetic factory fill as well.

Dunno how I feel about 0w20 still, even the manual says to use a 'higher' grade oil if the car will be operated "outside of normal driving parameters"
In all my inline 4 motors I have sworn by 0w30 or 5w40 depending on driving style and ambient temperature. Im probably going to be using 0w30 in this engine, too. |

I love 0 oils. I would never go above what a manufacturer states, infact I will normally go lower. In this case tho, Toyota/Subaru had already picked the oil I was planning to use from the start which is 0-20.

I've used this method on motorcycles that run twice the redline as most cars. The manual is there just in case you forgot how to drive a car or are a female driver! Basically it's saying for the first 20 miles, keep the engine loaded and don't bog it, drain the oil to flush out the small fine metal shavings. If you don't have access to a dyno, you can do it on the street. @ 11:22! They are tested prior to leaving the factory so keeping it under 4K is only there for liability reasons. Sorry to hurt your feelings but you are not the first one to drive you car. Be sure sure to watch the kid who tops your tank off, he'll drive how it's supposed to be driven.

I'll second Dizz1e's general stance. A freshly built motorcycle engine is not the same as a factory built car engine. Doing anything extra to try and seat rings "better" is unnecessary. Rings are seated at the factory in a modern car.
