With a good filter (Fram synthetic endurance, Purolator boss, Amsoil) and a modern high performance oil such as Amsoil signature and Pennzoil ultra platinum you are good for at least 17.5k with the Amsoil and 12.5k with the Pennzoil under 'severe' conditions.
I use Amsoil EA15K13-EA.
Every 4500-5000 miles with Amsoil Signature and Amsoil filter. Do it yourself, it\u2019s not hard and you can be assured no corners were cut. Don\u2019t go beyond 5000 miles. The 3.5L is really hard on oil. It\u2019s cheap insurance.
I only run Amsoil fluids and filters. Never had any issues and I track my 17' mostly. \n\nI dont use amsoil brake fluid though. Castrol SRF React is the best brake fluid for dry and wet boiling points. But its pricey
I just go to the amsoil website and get the oil that they suggest, I've taken cars well over 200k with that advice. Don't overthink it. If you don't want to use amsoil for the oil, at least see if they have a low micron oil filter.
I use Amsoil Signature Series & OEM filter.
Just change it every 6,000km and you’ll be good. Use synthetic, but brand isn’t as important as proper drain intervals.
I order the OEM Subaru filters and use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30. In your case you’d probably want to start using Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage.
Subarus are easy to work on for all the basics you’ll be doing, my only gripe on mine (08 Impreza) is the oil filter is in between the headers but I can live with that.
Subaru 15208aa170 oil filters and mobil1 5w30 EP oil. 6000 mile oci backed up by oil analysis.
The blue Subaru filters are garbage. Made my FRAM in US. Use the black ones from Japan instead.
