Looks good. You can definitely go longer, I'd say.

I'm curious about your first UOA here though - the add pack of the factory fill oil appears strangely similar to GC as well, minus the moly. What oil does Subaru use as factory fill?
 
I'm surprised that the FF has such little metals in there after 3k... compared to the Infinity UOA that the OP also posted. Wow.

. there is a typo on that first UOA, I pulled the factory fill @ 900 miles and refilled w/ GC.

That's what I thought, too. And I'm pretty sure GC could handle that OCI as well.

Me too. It's frustrating to see, especially given the sticky.


That being said, looks good, especially for a new car.

I agree.

Decent run overall for an engine that's probably still breaking in. This next OCI I'd probably leave for 5,000 and sample before dropping it.
