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.
It runs a premium (Total) 5W-30 engine oil. Gets an oil change and oil filter every 10,000km or 6months.
Changed ours at 3k and will change again at 6k. After that it’s every 5k. Use Subaru oil and filters.
our jiffy lube locations use total quartz ineo long life 0w20 which meets vw 508/09 specs. definitely use the vw recommended oil it has all the additives it needs especially with keeping those euro engines clean and less burn off at high temp.
esse óleo da foto é ótimo, a Total é uma empresa bastante reconhecida e fornecedora do óleo "original" Peugeot já há um bom tempo.
Total Quartz is really good value esp Quartz 9000 that is top rated API grade im 0w20 full syn
Io ho sempre fatto i tagliandi in Citroen e mi mettono questo olio:\n\nTotal quartz ineo 0w20 B712010(C5)
I have done all my oil changes myself since I bought my 2019 Subaru outback 2.5l new using 5w-30 and have never had issues! Just hit 120k ????
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.
