I am getting a JDM Subaru ez30r flat 6 engine installed in my Subaru Tribeca that is supposed to have 48k miles. Even if it does have low miles, I hear that life on a JDM engine is much tougher because the Japanese know they have to toss their engines anyways due to regulations so they don't maintain their engines.
I used Castrol Edge 10w-40 HM to reduce the consumption in the old engine a USDM ez30r (bad head gaskets plus bad rings/valve stem seals/valve seals etc.) and it would burn a quart every 1500 miles as opposed to a quart every 800 miles with Rotella 5w-40 T6.
What might a good plan/oil be this time around? I figure that I should just let the shop change the oil the first time and use that as a flush and then go with ???
Thanks
