Oil Change
Hey guys I know that oil needs to be changed anywhere from every 3750 - 7000 miles. I was wondering what oil you guys put in and after how many miles do you guys change your oil?
Thanks

Also I got my car at the Subaru dealer and they changed the oil and filter but the service light is still on...Do you guys know how to turn that off.. I went into the settings and reset but the oil and filter but the light is still on.

I think I have turned off the maintenance reminders but I really don't know how I did it. I think the display setting are separate from the NAV settings. BTW I think there is a thread on oil analysis in the Maintenance forum that may be helpful. It seems like the Penzoil Ultra/Platinum get better results than Mobil 1 (not sure about the M 1 from Germany).

If you change your oil regularly using expensive oil is a waste of money in my opinion.

g37x2011,
You're venturing into the area where you should be reminded that there's already a ton of information on the forum. This topic has been asked and answered many times over. At the top of every single page there is a search bar, you can use it to your advantage.
There's an existing thread called THE definitive oil thread in the stickies of the General Tech forum. All sorts of info regarding brands, viscosities, and intervals. Take a look there and if you still have oil questions after reading through it, post them there.

The oil capacity is 5.2 qts, so I normally just put in 5 quarts. The level remains up for the entire 5k miles when I change it again. Should I be adding the extra .2 quarts? I use the K&N 1010 filter which is for the M56.
