So how many km's have you done and how high is your oil consumption...Subaru bottom end and you don't follow what they recommend...why? Would you stick your hand in a fire if you were told?

Personally, I did about 1000kms I think with boost cut set @ 0.5bar with my new 207. Not sure what oil was in it for that period but after that I put full synthetic in..

Was told just to drive it normally, vary the revs from cruising to high, take off easy, take off harder etc. but you are really limited by the boost cut, so that stops most of the fun. So you could still do WOT at low revs, say from 2000 on the freeway but have to lift off before 3000 as the boost ramps up...
