Hi folks! This is my first UOA on our 2015 Forester. The vehicle has 72,000 kilometres (44738 miles), and the oil was drained at roughly 8 months and 7400 kms. (4598)
A mix of highway and stop and go/ short trip driving. The fuel was expected, probably contributing to the lower flash point. But otherwise a good reading as far as I can tell. I'n an attempt to green up our cars, we're aiming for 1 year or 10-12k kms. Roughly (6-7k miles)
Thanks for your time.

OIL TYPE & GRADE: Gasoline (Unleaded)
RYAN: Your Outback's engine is standing up to the stop-and-go use and cold winters, no problem. You can see typical 2.5L Subaru engine wear after ~10,000 km of oil use in the right column. Your metals are at about the same levels, and average wear is nice to see from pretty much any engine, so no problems are suspected for wearing parts. There's a little fuel, but 1.0% is most likely from normal use, like idling in the colder weather, for example. The TBN shows active additive remaining in the oil with a solid reading of 4.5 (1.0 is too low). Try 10,000 km next time.
