2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid
First sample at 23,423 on the clock, 6327 on the sample, Mobil 1 0W20 EP with 1 bottle of Liqui-Moly Ceratec added for sh*ts and giggles. Mostly highway miles at speeds of 60 to 80, including 1 trip from CA to CO at altitudes of 8500 to 10,500 elevation.
FRAM Ultra filter.
Subaru calls for 7500 mile oil changes for 2014, and now 6,000 mile OCI for 2015 Model Year.
Blackstone: "Thanks for the note about the additive. You can see how much that boosted the moly level. Normally
we'll see moly at 70-90 ppm in this oil. Anyway, this oil is working nicely for you and your new Subaru is
wearing really well. Universal averages show typical wear levels for this type of engine after about 5,800
miles on the oil. You ran longer and got lower wear than average - it doesn't get much better than that! The
TBN is still strong too, so if you'd like to try 7500 or 8500 miles next time, that should be just fine. No
coolant or fuel found. Air/oil filtration are both good."
