Hi All,
I have an '03 outback with 162,000+ mi. I am taking delivery on a 2013 outback next week. I am looking forward to learning from you all. This will be my 1st. brand new car. The dealer is 14 hours from me, does anybody have any suggestions on breaking in and driving a new Subi??? Does anyone reccomend 1st oil change after 500 or so miles? Or is that even a concern on todays engines? Thanks in Advance!!!

Follow your owner's manual. It has break in procedures and maintenance intervals.

Your first oil change should be at 7500 or 3000 miles, depending on the size of your engine.
