I just hit 3k on mine and am trying to decide myself, i want to change as soon as i can decide on which oil i'm going to use. I will stick with the oem filter for now.

subaru SM, Toyota SN and Eneos Sustina are my top pics for oil in 0w-20 in that order
new filter at 500 miles, subaru 1500 miles oil and filter,subaru oil 3750,subaru oil 7000 eneos sustina + liqui moly MOS2 1/2 bottle using HAMP toyo roki green filters...(yes I know I'm anal about oil, but my stable requires it) and every 4000 miles there after till I get another blackstone UOA done to justify pushing 5000 to 7000 per change I will be using the above oils and likely dosing full bottle MOS2 for track time, and if its really hot(over 100F racing) I will mix in 30% german made castrol 0w-30 ymmv Last edited by gmookher; 09-13-2012 at 02:04 PM. |

The manual states the first oil change at 7.5k miles. Personally I'm doing my 1st oil change at 3.5k miles and going with Mobil 1.

Im at 3040 but i have a full HPDE event this weekend. I wanted to change it but the local dealer doesnt have oil filters and its too late to order online.
Hopefully the car doesnt mind
