Dr. BRZ · 11-24-2013, 06:57 PM

its a boxer, so oil change every 7500 miles.

It won't hurt it to change it earlier.. I have had mine changed at 1500 on every new car I have had. It is a peace of mind thing for me, but it doesn't HAVE to be done, but it won't hurt.

Changing the oil too often might not be that great either...

Actually, it could. The oil in factory new engines contains an oil additive to help with break in.

Stick to the factory recommended intervals.

7500. I was a couple hundred short and the mechanics at Toyota couldn't do it.

WoOosOn · 11-25-2013, 01:26 AM

i have 1100 miles on mines, but im going to track my car in a month should i change it before or after?

bkblitzed · 11-25-2013, 01:46 AM

I did it right around your miles.

suaveflooder · 11-25-2013, 02:39 AM

I did mine at 3000, although, it would have been totally fine at 7500

I changed mine at 6000km and it was far too late. The oil was thin, black and burnt.
Since then it's been fine with the oil remaining clean for a long time and zero consumption.

If you ran it in the right way, fast, on reflection I would have changed it at 2000km, about where you're at now.

bkblitzed · 11-25-2013, 02:48 AM

I did mine around 1500 and I had flakes and the oil was pitch black. So I would do it soon

Subaru recommends changing it every 7500 miles or every 7.5 months right? I'm getting close to the 7.5 month mark and not even close to 7500 miles.
