SlickSpur Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Does Subaru specify an interval you must change your oil at? I'm going to get it changed at the dealership for the duration of the warranty, and am about 100 miles away from 3k. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfang Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yes, everyone who makes a vehicle does. 3750 for a turbo 3750 for a NA in severe service 7500 for NA normal service [SIZE=1][URL="http://public.fotki.com/blackfang/"]Pics[/URL] [B]08 KawasakiZZR 600- exhaust and other mods 98 Camaro Z/28 HT- some mods......street/strip car 07 Legacy 2.5i- SPT exhaust...daily driver[/B][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krzyss Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Subaru stated in 2005 that turbo requires 7500 mile OCI (for normal duty and half of it for severe) but year later they changed it (but not retroactively) to 3750. Krzys PS So your 2008 requires oil change each 3750 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opie Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Subaru stated in 2005 that turbo requires 7500 mile OCI (for normal duty and half of it for severe) but year later they changed it (but not retroactively) to 3750. Actually they did make it retroactive, to include all Subaru turbocharged vehicles: http://content.subaru.com/mys/content/Subaru_Turbo_Education.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krzyss Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I saw it. If I am not mistaken it was never labeled as "MUST FOLLOW" to keep 2005 GT under warranty. What do you think about this section "Racing-Type Driving Racing-type engine stress doesn’t only occur on the track. Racing-type driving occurs when the drivetrain, suspension, and other vehicle components are used at near peak capacity. Any driving where the engine speed is kept high – either by using lower gears at higher speeds or using engine braking – is considered racing-type driving." With engine braking the turbo is not spooling that fast (no fuel delivered) so why is it labeled "racing-type driving"? And what one considers "high engine speed" with 6500 redline?

987687 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yes, everyone who makes a vehicle does. 3750 for a turbo 3750 for a NA in severe service 7500 for NA normal service really that much for the NA? Wow, I thought doing it an 4500 was negligent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexi Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I wouldnt mind going 7,500mi in my '09 2.5i se simply because of how much oil it consumes. I bet i could go through 2 quarts of oil over 7,500 miles, so i'm always replenishing the acid neutralizing agents that get depleted over the oci, and the NA motors probably don't shear the oil that much.

987687 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 My legacy, believe it or not, doesn't burn any oil. maybe a quarter of a quart every 4500ish miles that I change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naimouasta Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 my legacy, the oil remains somewhat golden even at 3-4k. i usually change around 6-7k. i just keep eye on level and never do i have to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 But your legacy is 12 years newer than mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
