I have a 2001 Subaru Forester. I change the oil every 3000 miles even though I use a full synthetic. I do the same with my Toyota Corolla. The used oil from the Corolla (85,000 miles) is always clear amber, and looks good enough to re-use. The used oil from the Sube is dark, nearly opaque, nearly black. It's been that way since day one. The car has only 45,000 miles on it. The mechanic explains the difference by saying that "Subarus just burn that way." The car runs excellently, but I wonder if something is wrong. BTW, the air filter is changed every year.
