I come from an "old school" where oil change is to be religiously had at every 3000 miles. And posted on the walls of service dept at Subaru dealership (& on mysubaru.com) are recommendation of oil change at every 3000 miles as well.
So, how do they explain the 3750-mile oil-change interval that's scheduled in the "45K-mile Service Package" (which can be purchased at the time of car purchase)?
I mean, on one side they say, "Yes, you should change oil every 3000 miles." then turn around to another to say, "Yes, every 3750 miles is plenty."
I always wondered what they'd say if 2 different customers (one with the Service Package & the other without) happened to sit next to each other at the Service Dept counters.
On that note, supposedly, my wife's Saab only need (synthetic) oil change every 5K (or up to even 10K), per dealership & owner's manual. Coming from old school, that's quite amazing to me.
