That one bothers me almost as much as the official oil of Alabama, "Mobile" 1. :)

Nothing but good things to say about the Wix/NAPA filters. We have driven Subarus forever and I've been using the (5)7055 filter on all our engines since around 2014 when we got our first non-EJ engine. Never have had the first problem, plus I have NAPA and Oreilly within 2-3 miles. Subaru...

It seems like in my area that I find this most often at the Kia dealers. (Haven't shopped a Kia in a few years.) At the time the cars needed all they could get to sell and the customer base was the most likely to be groomed for such, so Wormwood Kia, sounds about right.

Remember everyone, the oil is formulated by engineers; the language on the bottle is written by lawyers. In my opinion, what's in the bottle is more important than what's on the bottle. This isn't bobisthelawyerguy.com... 😁

You really need to consider trying vanilla air. When I first used vanilla air my car smoothed right out. Seemed to have more horsepower and my gas mileage went up 3 mpg. Also, make sure you don't buy your vanilla air at Walmart, because it is not the same as other vanilla air sold at other...

Yeah, for some reason Subaru decreased the oil capacity on the 2.5 NA from 5.1 to 4.4 beginning in 2020.

2020 Subaru Legacy 2.5 NA 15K on unit 5k oci Out: 4.4 quarts Quaker State Ultimate Durability 0W-20 and 1 NAPA Gold 7055 filter In: 4.4 quarts Quaker State Ultimate Durability 0W-20 and 1 NAPA Gold 7055 filter

Vehicle: 2017 Buick Encore Premium AWD 1.4 L Turbo Mileage 31600 OCI 6K Out 4.2 quarts NAPA Synthetic 5W-30 and STP S12246 filter In 4.2 quarts Quaker State Full Synthetic 5W-30 and Fram CH12246 filter

2019 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 4x4 5.3 L 15K on unit 5K oci Out: 8 quarts AC Delco 0W20 (I assume as this was my free oil change @ the dealer) and 1 AC PF63E filter In: 8 quarts NAPA Full Syn Dexos rated 0W20 and 1 AC PF63E filter.

The FL-500S actually at one time was cross-referenced to the AC Delco PF63 for the 5.3 & 6.2 GM engines. Not sure this is the case anymore as GM has changed its bypass spec, but as far as canister size, they are almost identical.

Agreed my usage was much less.

Had a similar experience with a 2013 Subaru Legacy. Car had the 2.5 FB engine that the internet has blown up as a major oil burner. I never experienced major consumption, but it typically used between 3/4 and 1 quart in a 5K oci. I switched brands between Mobil 1 AFE, PP, and QSUD all in 0W20...

Yeah I know it. If it makes you feel any better I used Quaker State Synthetic in my wife's Legacy during the last oil change. My truck is due next and I have 8 quarts of NAPA sitting on the shelf for it. Valvouser....nah I'll just keep the name and not worry about it. In all seriousness I do...
