Thanks everyone! And yes, I don't baby any of my cars during break in. I'm a firm believer of "hard" break ins or "drive it like you stole it."
I've done plenty of wot pulls.
Any opinions on oil for this vehicle? I don't have my owners manual yet (dealer forgot to include them), so I can only go by what people are saying on focus st forums, but most of them just argue back and forth.
I'm at 900 miles on my factory fill. I was going to change my oil tomorrow, but I...

If this mobil 1 holds up great and protects my engine, it will be the best oil I have ever used.
My engine is much quieter, the car runs noticeably smoother, it accelerates better, and I get better MPG.

Yeah, this is really weird. Here's my average mpg right now (I reset my trip counter when I changed to M1). this is with around 70% city driving. Now, I could RARELY even hit 25mpg with 100% highway driving when I had PU 5W-30.
Very weird, but I'm not complaining.

For some reason my mpg seems a little better on the 0w-40. I haven't changed my driving habits.
Just checked the oil level after 100 miles. Still full.
So that means a thicker oil is even better for the 2008+ then right?
Also, what exactly causes oil consumption? For some reason a lot of Subaru owners claim their cars "eat" Mobil 1, but not any other oil? Why would this be?
