I'd run whatever full syn 0w20 you can get reasonable.
m1 afe, pp, etc
This is false!
My owner's manual for the 2014 Forester is 3k, then 7.5k, then every 7.5k after that.
Rand is correct.
1st oil change
4 cylinder Outback, Legacy, Impreza, and WRX, STI by 7.5 months or 7,500 miles.
4 cylinder 2.5Forester by 7.5 months or 7500 miles. See image below, it was 3 months or 3,000 miles innthe first version of the maintenance schedule
6 cylinder Outback, Legacy, Tribeca by 3 months or 3,000 miles.

You can always email SoA as well. Are you signed up with my subaru.com? That may be different. Don't be in a rush to change the factory fill to an oil with a weaker additive pack, IMO. Especially with all of the FB oil burners out there.

That is from a 3rd party website. I am looking at the actual 2014 USA manual as we speak.....
Again, first OCI at 3k. 7.5k is false.
SoA can't make up their mind. Does the manual state that 5W-40 conventional is allowed for replenishment?
