Taking delivery of a new 3.0R (H6 engine) Legacy in a few hours. I've done a bit of research on what oils and filters to use... (understatement!).
I'm looking for additional input on when to do the first oil/filter change, and what oil to use. As you may know, filters are problematic- maybe I'll get lucky and find some of the preferred black Toyo Rokis.
Subaru requires an initial early oil change at 3000 miles. This is unique to the 6 cylinder-engined cars. The H6s supposedly tend to shed some metallic junk when new. Maybe the long and complex timing chains layout....
My questions are these - would an early oil change (1000 miles) be worth it? I would still do the 3000 mile change to remain in warranty compliance. For a short run, what oil? Thinking higher moly....
As always, any and all advice is appreciated- thanks!
