What's the maintenance schedule for STi?

How often should I get an oil change? And what are the scheduled maintenance? Every 5000 miles? Oil every 3000 miles?

You should do oil change every 3000 miles. If you want to keep your car in good condition and run long. I get oil change every 3000 and i use mobile one

I've never been a believer in M1, but I've had great success using Redline in both my old '02 WRX, and now my '04 STi.

I use 10W40, and I start using it at 8k miles.

I started using mobile 1 after 5k. but if you want your car to run rich then start anytime.

I started my car off with synthetic oil at 3800 miles, its 3rd oil change. 5W-30 Mobil1 is great.

I do all freeway driving except for track days. I changed my oil 3000 miles later and it was very dark. I had two track days on that oil.

I am having to replace my tires every other lube service because of all the track duty my STi receives.
