Subaru Service using their own reccomended oils?
Help me out here - if a dealer uses 0w-20 vs the recommended 5w-30, where does that leave me? (fwiw, it's SOA oil)
I know, I know, the difference isn't enormous, especially in this climate, but will that do anything for my warranty in the long run?
(not that I'm too concerned, but...) contamination of my next oil change when I go to 5w-30 based on the manual?
(only paranoia due to new car warranty)
