OP here. Thanks everyone for the replies and information. I am going to wait until 3k for my first oil change instead of 1k after seeing multiple recommendations for that. Also I am going to use PP 5w-30 with 4k OCIs. I'll send my oil out to get checked after the summer is over to see how...

Want to do my first oil change at 1k. Wondering what you guys recommend? Nobody can make up their minds on the Subaru forums.

Thanks guys for all the responses. I stocked up 16qts of 5w30EP that I got on sale for $4/qt (ya I know not as good as some of the $1/qt steals people got) so I'll use that until the next deal comes along. If I see 0w40 for cheap I wont hesitate to try it.

Now we gotta track when people start getting their $20 reward cards.

Just got an email from auto zone. My entire castrol synth blend order was canceled. Oh well it's gonna be a sad Christmas after all.

Not as good as $1/qt but pep boys online has 30% off with free shipping right now.

Yes it is the 4.7l V8. Manual recommends 5w30 but I keep reading how the 0w40 is a higher quality oil than 5w30 EP, and considering I can occasionally get 0w40 cheaper I figured it might be worth a try. Just was worried it might be too thin an oil for this specific motor, etc etc.

Anyone using m1 0w40 on a 100 series landcruiser? I'm running m1 5w30 ep now but would like to try 0w40 in the future.

Just grabbed 36 quarts.

How many miles can I go on this oil? 3k or 5k?

Last question for you guys. I am going to go with Mobil 1 EP. Manual states 5w30, and the 100 series Land cruisers were not back specced to 0w20. Do you guys think it would be a good idea to run 0w30? Any negatives?
