Struggle to commit to a 10,000Km oil change interval

Has this become a metric vs. standard thread?

My fault. I plead for forgiveness. I am so ashamed. Please don't banish me to BITOG exile. I'll try really hard to be well behaved in the future.

It's inching toward that, isn't it?

Centimetering towards it, too.

I had originally planned to move up to a 10,000 km oil change interval with Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30, but even with all the data available, I’m struggling to make a decision. The factory oil change interval is 10,000 km, with no severe-duty schedule listed. I live in Ontario, Canada, and I never idle to warm up or really take short trips in general. Any establishment is far enough away from my house that the oil and coolant have a chance to come fully up to operating temperature.

Are you still struggling to commit to 10,000 km (6,200 miles) OCI with an oil rated (on paper) for 12,000 miles or proven at least 10,000 miles real word driving/experience?
Or you just went off roading with your Subaru Crosstrek and forgot about this topic?

5k oil changes are better than 10k oil changes.

5K miles = 8K km,

6.25K miles = 10K km

10K miles = 16K km


OP should be fine with 6.25K miles (10K km) OCIs even if they have severe service.

It's no where near 10K miles.
