I already use 5W-30 in my '22Limited (calls for 0W-20) and 5W-30 For my Forester XT (calls for 5W-30).
We'll see how the UOA's compare.

I've got a UOA going out for my NA 2.5 in my sig below (Valvoline 0w-20 EP). We'll see how that goes. Mostly curious about fuel dilution, but my work commute is 20mi on the interstate so I see decent periods where oil is fully up to temp. Hoping it will be a non issue.
Curious why you would do 10k OCI with a vehicle still under factory warranty?
Was this an inspiration?

Oil was in use for 11 months. Mostly highway miles. OEM interval is 1/10K. Polaris ran this sample twice due to my concerns about the additive levels. However, the CA, P and Z levels remain unusually high for M1 0W40; not sure what's going on. I personally installed this oil and took the...

I take enough UOA's that I don't worry about. I would actually like them to challenge it. I have the time and knowledge.
lol...no
Thanks
Filter being used will likely be more important for the 10k. Not that we don’t have many 10k+ options today. But the oil it self should hold up no issues as long as the level is correct
At one time MB used term “fleece” filters and 229.5 sheet oil for the longer intervals

the 22 is GDI
not sure which XT but if its 2014+ its TGDI..
10k.. eh oil is cheap.. esp with winter.
I changed out the 5W-30 after only 4800 miles. I hated to do it. But I did take an oil sample. I also had another one at 4200 miles. So there should be worthwhile information. I will grab a sample at 5000 miles. Assuming its good I will leave it in probably till 12000. Miles (taking another sample at 10K miles). That will be a long time though as the wife only puts 7K miles per year.
This fall I will have about 5K miles on the '22 and will switch to the 0W-40 on that also. Taking a sample and then another sample at 10K miles.
Both vehicles are thoroughly broken in I think the results will prove interesting.

In many thousands of UOA I have yet to see an issue with tbn
