Hey people

I'm new here and to the world of Subaru's and have a few questions for you

I just purchased my first Subaru, 2006 Hawkeye WRX STI ... it was serviced at 20,000 miles and had the cambelt changed, its now done 7k miles since so I am wondering when I should service it next, also how often you should service these cars?

My other question is does anyone know a subaru specialist in the south? I'd much prefer a specialist than a dealer

My last Q for the moment is what oil do I buy for it?

Any help appreciated

I service mine every 5k but that is a bit over the top, lateral performance in watford is a specialist (and one of the best around), as for oil i use miller's 10/40, as long as you use a good oil all will be well they arnt as fussy as you think.
