[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 559755, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]In the old days, with 10W30 petroleum based, I changed the oil about every 3000 miles as recommended. My 2017 Subaru Legacy's owner manual says full synthetic 0W20 every 6000 miles. The dealership, where I purchased the car, recommends full synthetic Subaru branded full synthetic 0W20 every 3000 miles. At the dealership with tax an oil change is $82.00. With my normal 12,000 miles a year driving, that's $328 a year for oil changes. Several brands, Mobil 1, Amzoil, etc. say that once every 10,000 miles for full synthetic 0W20 is sufficient. I'm not getting under my car and doing an oil change myself!! Periodically, I see well known branded OW20 full synthetic on Amazon, 5 quarts, $30.00. One of my friends has an electric dipstick extraction pump. He draws out as much oil as he can using the pump and replaces it with fresh oil every 6000 miles and has a service station change the oil and air filters annually. He says this is easy and more than adequate.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
