Brand new car, brand new game plan.
The dealer pushes every 5000 miles but with my wife's driving 100 miles a day with 50% of those always highway I am staring to think the longer OCI in manual may be better.
Dealer uses Castrol 5w20, I plan on switching to AFE 0w20 mostly because when she is at work in the dead of winter the car will be outside. Rabbit turned in a 1F temp the one morning and she commented on how sluggish it was getting to the highway. It had synthetic in it so I attribute that to the transmission. Now that the Rabbit is gone and we got a new car, new plan.
I have a funny feeling it will be a very cold & long winter in these parts again haha. That as it may be I want the best cold start protection. I am even considering switching the Forester over to a 0w30 for my short trips to work.
SS in the manual is every 5k miles, normal is 7.5k for the 3.
If I am running a good synthetic I can't see why 7.5k isn't attainable. What say ye BITOG?
