Shell has now upped the ante with low saps API SN rated 0W40 version! So the JButch need not worry if the old Subaru going to lose a cat.
It's a 2015 FA20DIT, I wouldn't call that engine old,
I don't feel I need a 40 weight in that engine though, happy with the oils I'm using.
Like Virtus_Probi said, too much calcium... The Euro LX I'm using right now is already slightly high at 1700ppm.
Oops, thought you had a '14 like me...my engine has a model year and about 80000km on yours!
jbutch, do you know offhand if you got the redesigned CVT with the added filter? I know if was introduced in the course of the '15 MY production, I definitely do not have it and wish I did...my CVT was repaired under warranty at around 80kmiles after throwing codes and acting funny in reverse.
I checked a while back and my FXT should have the CVT filter. That darn CVT is the only thing that scares me on that vehicle. I really like the forester though, especially in the 16 inches of fresh snow that fell yesterday.
