^^^Why use the run in oil for 12500kms as it's generally it's a mineral oil which helps bed in the rings etc but is not too good to run for a long time or you'll cause more wear.
Well that's what I've been told by a few well know and forum used workshops and was the original reasoning for the free oil change by dealers after a few thousand kms.

It is a mineral based oil. But of very high quality, it is API SM rated, the same rating as the full synthetic genuine oil. Unlikely to cause any excessive wear, but good for bedding in. As for why they added a 5000/3mth service and then dropped it again, remember there was a few issues with the EJ25T on some cars? I would say that was the reason, I've been at Subaru for 8yrs and it was only the H6 that used to get a first service, except for that little stint a couple of years ago.

Also, all of your babied Subarus are put straight on a rolling road after being manufactured and all get revved off their tits. Follow whatever is in your manual for your driving style. Changing the formula is where a lot of the 'issues' for cars come in.
