I bought a new limited, last week. I did my first oil change yesterday and the amount of shit in it was crazy. Definitely do it.
I had a 2017 Forester with 175k miles on it and only used factor oil and never had any issues. I did not do any off road stuff and it was only a premium model, not a wilderness model. I don’t think it matters as long as you change it regularly.
Changed ours at 3k and will change again at 6k. After that it’s every 5k. Use Subaru oil and filters.
If you are using VW original oil then stick to it and the service interval. 15 years 229,000km later mine is going strong. I did mess up by doing service at 15k km all these years. Sticking to 12k is best. Instead try iftex system D. Makes a very noticeable difference. More important I feel is changing the air filter more often. And compulsorily changing diesel filter every year.
Been running 87 and 5w 40 on my mk7.5 for the last 40k of ownership. She loves it, no tics stutters or hiccups at 65k miles.
eu la cc ul meu 2.0 tdi cfgb am pus si 0w30 si 5w30. (0w30 ulei volkswagen si 5w30 fuchs si ravenol). vara, in blana pe autostrada, uleiul 0w30 atingea si 118-119 grade ceea ce e cam aproape de limita. 5w30 peste 114 nu trecea.
Eu 0w-30 folosesc la un golf 4 1.9tdi si sunt multumit, masina porneste foarte bine la frig, al meu drag motor mananca, si trebuie sa completez 100 ml la 5-600 km cv de genu.
Yeah? I’ve been using Subaru oem oil in my 260kmile 2015 forester. It only burns a little.
I avoid the 5 minute drive-thru places. One of them wanted over $100 for full synthetic on my Subaru Forester. Not worth the 5 minutes.
Using the incorrect oil can cause damage and will definately void your warranty. Call the closest dealership and buy the oil for this oil change.
