2017 Subaru Crosstrek
I did it, I changed my own oil yesterday!!!
I couldn't wait to do it. So here I am changing my oil with only 2,100 miles on the last dealership oil change. I had bought a 5 quart jug of Castrol Edge 5W30 and like a kid at Christmas I could not wait to open up the present (oil) and use it.
I installed the Fumoto valve, and it was out with the dealership 0W20, and in with the 5W30. Did not change the oil filter though, I will do that at 6k OCI's.
Initial observations were that the engine sounded louder and revved up higher upon initial start up with the new 5W30. I also felt like the engine was not as responsive / loss of a tiny bit of power when I took it out for a twelve mile drive. But today, at the first start up this morning, no high revving or louder than usual sounds. After a nice forty mile drive today, the engine is quiet and smooth, but still feels like it isn't as responsive when accelerating.
