Exclamation

Service intervals are at 7.5k or 6 months, whichever is first

Should also state that original subaru oilfilters are the only ones you should use!! (unless you want big bills!) and ensure you use super unleaded fuel (and octane booster if poss to ensure your at the 100 ron mark!)

I would change of oil as often as you can afford. I prefer to change every 3,750-4000 miles. It is much cheaper than a new engine. The boxer design is more succeptable to moisture ingress than some other engine designs so the oil degrades faster. I was told this by Subaru tech so I presume it is true.
