HAMMER DOWN Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I can't vote:mad: No 12k to 15k OCI to click on.:lol: Al most 80k on my 05 GT. Stock turbo & exhaust. Still run strong.

PhilT Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 It doesn't have to exact, 4k miles is close enough. But 6,000 km or 3,750 miles is exactly what is recommended due to the banjo bolt issue that Vimy is referring to http://www.thel7.com/TSB/02-103-07.pdf So why wouldn't that be one of the choices Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siper2 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 But 6,000 km or 3,750 miles is exactly what is recommended due to the banjo bolt issue that Vimy is referring to http://www.thel7.com/TSB/02-103-07.pdf So why wouldn't that be one of the choices Understood but I see what he's saying; 4K miles is only 250 mi. off. Doubt it would make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesuby Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I checked 3000 miles but I change it every 2 months. Many times it's more like 2500 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimy101 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 If OEM severe is 3750, what is OEM normal? You've got to read your manual. 7500 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA SUUB Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I do mine religiously every 5,000 km (~3,000 miles). Oil changes are still the cheapest insurance you can buy. Maybe that's why after putting on over 600,000 km collectively on the Subarus I have owned, I have never had an engine issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_KT Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I live and operate my vehicle in a high-desert environment where the temperatures can rise to 115F (sometimes even higher) during the summer months and the roads can become quite dusty. Because of those conditions as well as for peace of mind, I try to adhere to 3750 mile oil change intervals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackacc Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 No turbo for me now, but I always changed the oil in my WRX every 3k. Actually every car I have ever owned I change at 3k. Just habit.
