So i recently purchased a 2004 Subaru forester XT with 140,xxx miles on it. I believe the dealership and previous owner were probably using conventional oil in it. I would like to switch it over to synthetic though since its a higher milage car, and its the turbo model. What do you guys recommend as far as making that switch? Should i go to a synthetic blend first and then to a full synthetic or is it ok to go straight to full synthetic? I plan on running Rotella 5w-40 when i go to synthetic in it which is a little heavier then dealer recommended (5w-30). but from what ive read and heard is the best oil for subaru turbo models.
Thanks,
Andrew
