2009 Subaru Impreza 2.5i
recommended 5w30 or 5w40 also listed is 10w30 and 10w40 recommended API is SM and ILSAC is GF-4
Northeast Pennsylvania
I can drive anything from easy trying to squeeze every mpg I can get or hard and fast. over the course of my 7500mile manufacturer recommended OCI It's probably 65/35 easy/hard
My daily drive is very short, coming in at 1.3mi one way to work.
I am still just a bit under 30k and have not seen or heard any problems from the engine compartment
I am currently on RP 5w-30 with a K&N filter, I will probably continue with this filter selection as my first OCI after purchase the filter was barely able to be removed using a slightly modified filter socket.
I shouldn't have this trouble again as I will be the only one changing my oil from now on and I have no plans to over tighten however that 1" nut on the original filter would have made my morning a whole lot less frustrating.
Oils I am interested in are M1, GC, Sticking to RP, or Pennzoil. In fact by the time this site taught me of GC last night it was too late for me to hightail it to the nearest AZ to grab the deal.
For any of the oil's I am interested in possibly going to a 0w30. As stated earlier my OCI's will be 7500miles as the car is still under extended warranty.
I am willing to make online/mail order purchase however with shipping I want to keep these as close to 35$ for 5qt's as possible (engine takes 4.2) from what I have seen this mostly just pulls amsoil from the eligibility list.
Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions.
