Engine oil IDEMITSU or OEM Subaru

This is normal. Wait till it gets below 1k rpm. Modern engines do not need a lot of time to idle after cold start, the ECU handles it. Although, for a few kilometres, do not push very hard. The engine oil (0w-20 idemitsu) is thin, and needs time to lubricate well.

Changed ours at 3k and will change again at 6k. After that it’s every 5k. Use Subaru oil and filters.

I have a 17 grand touring and I use idemitsu 0w/20 and purolator b9ss filters.

Switch to Idemitsu ( Japanese oil ) - Manufacturers for genuine and even does factory fill for many, they are very premium oils with starting segment already beating the top shelf of alternative brands.

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 ????

Idemitsu 05-W30 from Unioil kasi I cant find Castrol for my Mazda

Getting 30mpgs in my ‘14 and been running 5w30 for years, smoother and quieter

No issues with 5w-30. Switched my 21 Crosstrek to it due to the summer months coming. Little dip in mpg but the engine runs smoother.

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.
