Because it comes in 5 quart jugs, and Subaru have switched the amount to 5.1, so most people figure its ok. It is, as you know synthetic. And being that 5 quarts is more than the engine in my fullsize truck holds, I think most figure its absolutely fine to just use the 5 quart jug. I mean, really- most 2 liter engines would require about half to two-thirds the amount of oil this engine takes.
But we are only talking a tenth of a quart.
