Hi. I'm a new 2010 FXP owner. It only has about 200 miles on it, but I'm already thinking about my first oil change. Subaru dealer says over 3k miles is soon enough. I say sooner would be better. What do you all think?
Another thing. I'm doing the changes myself. Can't see any sense in driving 70 miles to my Sub dealer for a "free oil change". Is there a special method for removing the oil filter? I read one post, where they said that they couldn't get the original break-in oil filter off, so just skipped it. I want to make sure that doesn't happen to me. I know that I have to be careful about oil getting on the exhaust pipes.
I got a few Subaru oil filters to use and plan to save receipts. I always keep a log of all work done on my cars. Is that all that is needed to keep it in warranty?
That's all for now. Thanx!
