Yup I just checked my VIN and I'm not covered. So back to my original question. Would going back to say Valvoline Maxlife or even Pennzoil yellow bottle after running M1 have any negative consequences?

I guess I'll let them do the free oil changes until they try to charge. Then I'll do them myself.

Originally Posted By: HKPolice 2AZ high mileage oil burning is caused by piston rings. There's a class action lawsuit for it, google it. No oil can stop this type of burning, get it fixed. I'm not sure it's worth the $$ for me to get it fixed. I think it's probably about $2500 repair and car...

Originally Posted By: RamFan Has it burned that much since you've had it or is it a new occurrence? We bought it new. Didn't start burning oil until about 85K miles. Did some research and apparently it's not uncommon with the Toyota 2AZ-FE engine to do this. I was just thinking since I'm...

I think 10K miles/1 year. But she drives about 18K a year

On my 2008 XB I've been running synthetic (M1, PP) since about 50K mile (currently @ 124K miles) It currently burns .5 quarts of oil every 1K mile, so doing my 5K mile Oil change interval I'm adding 2.5 quarts of oil. Would I do better off going to a quality Dino oil in 5w30? I currently run...

Yeah I suspect that the prices will be high. I'll probably just start doing them myself. Stuff like engine air filter and possibly cabin air filter I can do myself easily.

She definitely does not qualify for severe duty. Commute is 25 miles mostly highway.

Yeah I figured so. My only real reasoning is because we have a 2008 XB that started burning oil @ ~85K miles and the first 35K miles were dealership oil changes. Different engines and the 35K of dealer changes probably did not contribute. The 2AZ-FE engines of that vintage were known to eat a...

Just make sure you keep an eye on oil level. The new FB25 engine Subaru uses can consume some oil. They all require (per owners manual) 0W20 Synthetic oil. In the Forester at least they are notorious for higher than average oil consumption. I had a 14 Forester for a little while, when service...

Thanks for all the input. I guess spending too much time here has turned me into an oil snob LOL
