Hi Folks,
Just picked up a 2008 Subaru Legacy with the Naturally aspirated 2.5i boxer 4 cylinder with 9200 miles.
It will be the daily driver with many short trips and not many miles put on it over it's life. (just sold 95 Camry V6 with 145k, all synthetic, perfect engine the rest falling apart)
I am almost thinking that I may use dino oil and change at 3-4k intervals for some reason. Not sure why! I always use syhth. and I'm wondering why Dino with this car.
Do the boxer engines use more oil than others? Will synthetic be overkill for this engine?
Car is located in the Northeast so not crazy temps.
Thanks.
John
