1. What kind of vehicle you have - SUBARU 2005 LGT LIMITED
2. What your owner's manual says -- not just viscosity, but certifications (look for acronyms like API SM, ILSAC GF-4, etc.) and change intervals as well -> [censored]... need to find the manual somewhere...
3. Where you live - New York, Queens
4. How you drive (easy? hard? fast? slow?) - Normal speed limit driving around locally. On the highway, I usually go 65-70mph on a 55mph speed limit. Rarely go higher than that.. I usually only accelerate occasionally hard when merging onto the highway. Other than that, I rarely speed.. if any at all.
5. What your daily drive is like (short trips? long trips? city? highway?) weekdays, I drive a mile to the train station and back. Occasionally I drive it around at night. Weekends, I take a 60 miles drive out and back.
6. Whether your car has any known problems. - I certainly hope not! haha the previous owner has been using Royal Purple every 3-3.5k miles 10w40 for summer, and 10w30 for winter.
Hi everyone! I came across bobistheoilguy.com from legacygt.com's thread. I wanted to find out and learn more about how i can take care of my car, and any input and advices will be greatly appreciated.
the car currently has 41k miles, and has royal purple 10w40 in it. I realized after reading the articles that maybe I should move to 5w30 or 0w30. I asked my mechanic briefly what oil I should use after I told him that the previous owner has been using 10w40..and he suggested that my car maybe burns too much oil? . . . I have no idea what that means.
Anyways, just wanted to get acquainted with whoever on this site and looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks!
