how many miles till first oil change?
i just got about 360 miles in, within 3 days heh. anyhoo, how many miles should i wait till my first oil change? i always thought that it was better to change the oil soon to dump out all the shaved metal or whatever that was worn down from the new engine being moved a lot or whatever.
but my honda friends were saying that honda put special break in oil in hondas and youre not suposed to change it for a while. does subaru have this oil?

I believe the owner's manual says 3000 miles, no? Now trusting that the information in the owner's manual was put their based on what the guys that designed and built the motors say, I don't think you can ever go wrong following what Subaru says. I like to think they know more about their motors then most of us do
Then again, not too many people change their oil once every 7500 miles either(as per the owner's manual), but when in doubt, follow the owner's manual(IMHO). |

I second Shik. Follow the manual and if you want change to Mobil1 at 10k/15k. There are plenty of threads on this subject, and plenty of opinions, but I don't think you can go wrong with that plan!
