1000 miles without exceeding 4000RPM.

It's in your Owner's Manual, BTW

Is it true there is a special kind of oil that comes in a car that is specifically made for the "break in period" that needs to be changed out after a 1000 miles?

Not that I've ever heard of...but for every new car that I've ever owned I have changed the oil after 1000 miles.

As for the break in period, I was told for the first 1000 miles dont take it above 4 grand

Thats cause you bought it at Fitzgeralds. They dont have a clue about Subarus.

Thumbs down

ya pretty much...the only reason i bought it there was b/c of how much they offered for my other car. Other than that they are pretty stupid....they ordered the wrong parts for me and everything already

Why dont you just let me know what parts you need. I get them twice as fast and all we do are Subarus.
