Alright so i just hit the magic 3k miles mark on a 09 WRX.
And im ready for the first oil change now i was just wondering on how u guys have been servicing ur new 09's.. are u guys doing the oil changes at home or taking them to the dealers...

I changed my oil at 1000 actually too. I'm just anal about it... (with a change at 3000 also... after that every 3000 until I go synthetic) it's not recommended by subaru or anything so I wouldn't worry about it. I did it at home with pennzoil 10w40 dino oil and purolator one filter. I plan on going to german castrol 0w-30 at 10-15k miles when I get there.Originally Posted by Mwrx24
I use Shell Rotella T 5w-40 along with the purolator pure1 oil filter at home. Do a search as I know this has been discussed numerous times.

Easy as hell to do at home, just be sure you have a good drain pan.
I use Mobil 5W30 in winter and 10w30 in summer and a Subaru filter. Changed over to Synthetic at 6,000 miles, doesn't burn a drop 81k later.
If you do the maintenance on your new vehicle yourself be sure you use the manufacturers recommended material/parts and save your receipts in case you need to make a warranty claim.
