The land of USA-made Subies!
MC 5w-20, likely semi-syn from dealer. Aside from the usual gorilla torque used by dealers on the filter & drain plug, uneventful. Did notice this oil was much darker than previous PP 5w20, and some very minor particulates in the bottom. Pleats look pretty good, no obvious tears- filter is still draining & will probably cut media later this week. OLM was 23% but I just felt it was time to change. Thoughts?

Thanks! I've been using these on my Edge. I only have 7500 miles, but have done 3 OCIs. I plan to stick with 5k OCIs, and probably these filters. You used to be able to order a 2-pack on walmart.com for $7.97. Looks like that deal is gone. :(

Still $3.97 each at Walmart and Amazon.
 
I wonder why the MC was darker than the PP?
Who knows. Didn’t really matter as color doesn’t determine serviceability. Could have been as simple as more idle time in summer (A/C running) whereas in spring or fall the vehicle would just be turned off; resulted in more soot? Unsure, and don’t really care… the current fill may be the first UOA on this vehicle since it’s now on the doorstep of 30k miles. I do know that, over an entire tank of gas in the same driving pattern as my wife, I can easily get 1.5-2 mpg better than she does. It was just an observation.
