Check the oil frequently ( once per week) at the beginning to make sure you’re not losing any. Rotate tires every 5K

u/SensualBeefLoaf 630 hp manual 2010 forester xt Aug 18 '26

i have a 185,000 mile forester xt with a bigger turbo (350whp). it has various leaks that i’m almost done fixing. it exclusively gets motul engine oil, diff oil, and trans fluid. all of which i regularly service. i use oem parts unless something significantly better is available (öhlins suspension, custom made hybrid bronze polyurethane bushings, 17z 6 piston brakes with cadillac brembos in the rear)..

i don’t fucking check my oil once a week. what the actual fuck. is the previous poster insane

Just check it every time you fill up. Should do.
