2019 Subaru - 439k miles... Nothing but 0w20

Amazing results using the recommended oil.

What impresses me is when a soccer mom driving pattern, with low oil or 'just a little late sometimes' intervals last 50-60k miles.

3 year old vehicle with 440k miles spends plenty of time running continuously.

Good engine. Made well and it was run a lot over the course of 3 years. Oil did its job.

Assuming a 2019MY sold in say late 2018, that's 109,764 miles a year; 9,147 miles a month; 305 miles per day. That's gotta be all highway, so a life of leisure.

If that is the 4 cyl. boxer engine, I wonder how many head gaskets ? If none then I am impressed.

I saw that odometer on Reddit.

Subaru seems to have fixed the head gasket issues something like 10+ years ago. After that,for a few years they had engines that were burning excessive oil, and seemed to have fixed that by the 2018-2019 model year. Also they now have a timing chain so you don't even have a belt to replace every 100k or so. I wonder if that car is still using the original water pump or ever had the coolant changed.

Or the original engine.

do u mind sharing your average oci over the life so far of your vehicle. Really just interseted as I have always stuck with manufacturers
guide lines yet I will spend extra money to purchase what I feel is a top quality product.

Never Mind. Sorry.

That's would mean doing an oil change about every two weeks if he was going with 5K OCIs.

How do you know it had 0W-20 it's whole life?

This should have been mentioned in the original post.

 

[jurko]

Boy, that's some crazy mileage in 3 years.
That's around 151 cannonball runs.

About 400 miles a day. Everyday. Seven days a week.

What model subaru is this (engine design etc.)?

Sounds like lots of lazy highway runs at low RPM's and minimal throttle changes.

You obviously haven’t bothered to check anything on the internet in say, oh, the last decade. Feel free to crawl back where you were, nobody here missed you.

2019 Subaru with 0w20 would be FA20 most likely. Impreza or Crosstrek would be my bet.
