Subaru 15208AA15A C&P, At least 2yrs in service

[hawkdriver]

Oil change on MIL’s 2013 Subaru Legacy 4cyl. Over two years in service with unknown mileage. Car only has a little over 25000 miles on it.

That is a nice car to neglect like that. That’s ridiculous to go that long on an oil change. By the looks of the filter, that had to be 20,000 miles+.

Yep, I found out about it today and got it changed today. Fram Endurance and Mobil 1 EP in.

Sad.

25k/10 years is 2,500 miles per year avg. That would put this filter around 5,000 miles of use. Thanks!

Wow, there looks to be some globules of sludge on the filter?! Unreal. That unit is ROUGH.

Further details from the owner: Less than 3000 miles in the last 2yrs. Severely short tripped. It probably hasn’t gotten to normal operating temp in a while.

On close inspection, the globular looking stuff on the ends look like the fiber end caps are just disintegrating.

That would explain the nasty & a strike against fiber end caps in that environment. I see why you went with Fram Endurance and Mobil 1 EP for this engine to have a fighting chance. Thanks again!
