I had my first oil change on my 2018 Subaru XV GT7 at 1,000 km and I can assure you that under a powerful LED flashlight, looking into the collection tray, I could see millions of tiny micro particles. I was impressed by this. I had my second oil change at 4,000 km. I can confirm that, on Subaru's opposed cylinder engines, performing several oil changes during the break-in period will make a big difference in the future when the engine and its internal parts age. My engine currently has 55,000 km and performs very well until reaching the injection cut-off. It was progressively adapted during the break-in period by monitoring the oil temperature and strategically increasing the revs during this period, up to 10,000 km. If I had kept the oil without replacing it until the first 15,000 kilometers as recommended by my official service, those micro particles would act like SANDPLAY, generating unnecessary wear.
Does the oil analysis on a brand new filled engine tell you if subaru used conventional or synthetic oil? Curious if subaru uses break-in oil and if changing too early at around 1000 miles with synthetic oil might be bad for the engine.
First time watcher! Love your vid!! Absolutely phenomenal depth, and very educational!!
What's go-ing on??!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Have a 22 sport changed oil at 600 miles. Cars so easy too change oil

That is a widespread mantra.
