I would also make sure that every time you fill up the gas you check the oil dipstick and if it’s a little low top off the oil. In fact, I think this is probably crucial to owning an older Subaru like mine mine has 300 K.

Pros: check oil dipstick
Cons: oil can be low
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 300000 km

I second those saying bring a spare quart of oil. I wouldn't be too worried about taking my 2012 Outback at 170K miles on such a trip...but would agree check the oil every 1000 miles or every morning (depending how far you go in a day) just to make sure it isn't getting low.

Pros: check oil every 1000 miles
Cons: engine consumes oil
Mileage: 1000 km

Check all your fluids ASAP. If any are low, top off as per the manual and monitor closely before you leave to make sure it's not leaking or consuming anything. Definitely bring extra oil, 1 or 2 quarts would be pleanty, and some paper towels and rubber gloves help too.

Pros: bring extra oil
Cons: engine drinks oil
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 3500 km

Should be fine, but CHECK THE OIL FREQUENTLY. This series of engines is notorious for oil consumption problems, which may not appear at all when doing short trips, but suddenly it's drinking 1qt or more per 1000 miles on the highway.

Pros: check oil frequently
Cons: oil consumption problems
Mileage: 1000 km

Been using it for several years already and very popular brand na sya ngayon since anak ni Lucio Tan ang distributor.

Use their X7 if you plan to change oil every 6 months. Use X7000 for yearly changes.

Pros: popular brand, longer use

Yes, it is good advice. When a new engine is breaking in, there is a lot more wear metals. It's not uncommon to see metallic flakes or shimmer in the oil during your first oil change. Parts wear/bed in. That's why there is a break-in period on almost, if not all new cars.

I did my first oil change at 1k miles on my BRZ; I saw a lot of metal shavings come out of the oil. The oil also had a metallic shimmer to it. This is totally normal, but I want to get rid of all of that so it is not circulating around the engine post-break in period.

Pros: removes wear metals, good advice
Cons: metallic shimmer
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ
Mileage: 1000 km
