If it's the CFS 10/40 then yes, it's a well respected oil here.

There is no need to change every 6 months unless you are doing huge mileage

What do you base that theory on?

This is all you need and change every 6 months - as Subaru recommend and it will cost you £13 for 5 Litres ..... dip yer bread

Dont think to many motorsport companies would be using that!! Personally i would much rather use millers 5W 40 and change it once a year!! That stuff is okay for a normal car but for high performance I would rather use Millers / Silkolene to protect my engine.

My Subaru handbook says 10 k or annually!! So dont see anypoint in people changing their oil at 3k for example!! Waist of money in my opinion + with using the Milers CFS 5W 40 its going to be better than what the Subaru dealer would use

Totally depends on how it's used, mine only does 7000 miles per annum, but I change every six months (10W60 CFS).
