i guess you can have pretty good peace of mind not changing it 5- 7.5k miles then. i'm still a paranoid bastard, but its usually me who's rebuilding the motor...

 

no no lol thats why i stated:

turbo'd cars are 3,750 in the book.... we reccomend every 3k or 3 months which ever come first

for non turbo cars it states every 7,500 miles or 7.5 months.... we recommend every 5 months or 5 thousand miles which ever come first due to our stop and go driving and extreme weather conditons (humidity & heat also stop and go driving)

 

Really?, when I bought my '13 WRX, the salesman told me that I should change my oil every 7,500 miles. Maybe you could point him in the right direction. I myself was planning on changing it 3-4k anyway, just because it is so easy to do. I can PM you his name if you want to let him know, I would rather not throw out names.

 

should of bought it from me... lol

open your warranty booklet.... turn it to the maintenance page..... read part that states it for turbo.... and you will see your saleman was WRONG the only iclubbers that sell subys are at waialae... thats me & joe

 

Like I said depending on what you drive you may not need to until 7.5k. Not everyone drives a Wrx or Sti and some of the low displacement NA models are fine up to 7.5k. The Lexus CT200 hybrid for example is recommended every 10k. Just depends on what and how you drive.

 

^^^nobody listen to this guy he's just disgruntled that I am coming home.

in my grandpa voice

"i remember back in 02-03 when we use to argue on what oil was better and not when to replace it"

 

here better yet i will show you in my 2011 forester book.....

This one Line # 1. & 2. talk about extreme driving condition


This one talks about extreme driving conditions.....



so for us we recommend all turbos to be done every 3k miles and non turbos evey 5 thousand miles.... its a recommendation the choice is your but the writing is in the book. we fall under extreme driving conditions.

 

yes it states that for Subarus but it also contradicts its self......and yes some Toyotas & Lexus are at 10k miles but as a car guy that scares the **** outta me....... but hey if there gonna honor the warranty then its on them

 

^^^F coastal areas........Uh all of Hawaii!!

 

well the CT is what a 1.8L thats not even running half the time? so yea it just depends. look at brae's wrx. it's still only got 1800mi on it and it's gotten 2 oil changes. but yes jess i'm just disgruntled, hurry up and come back

 

ROFL are they serious. 3 3/4 months? Who the hell can remember that? 3,333 miles. Make it easy. 3,333, 6,666, and on the 10k. Easy to remember and gets it done right.

 

bah, i got 3k miles and i have over 10 oil changes on it!
of course that's over 4 years... and 40 or so autox's

 

Subaru sent me a new owners manual shortly after I bought my wrx in 2011, they changed it from 3750 to 7500 for the first oil change in the booklet. Don't ask me why.

 

yes but your in the mainland..... in Hawaii we fall under **Examples Of Servere Driving Conditions** found on page 37 of your "new" warranty & Maintenance booklet.

Im looking at a 2013 one right now and yes they made the change your speaking of but it still states the same conditons of extreme driving conditions
