My last car was a Toyota Scion xB 5-speed, purchased new, that I drove till April 2021 and 221,000-miles and the ac worked excellent throughout, with no need for any service.
But, it had a defective 4-cylinder engine that needed a 3/4 quart oil added with every gasoline fill-up, so's I became the #1 biggest user of that Walmart $2.76 oil in the country! ...... plus I got lots experience adding oil in the dark, in the winter, without a funnel, etc ....
It seems this Subaru never ever needs to get oil added, and every 5000-miles, I get the $46.44, 7-am, Castrol Edge oil change and ten dollar tires rotation at the Plymouth NH, Walmart. The $46.44 comes standard with the cheapest Fram filter, but you can upgrade the filter for an extra three or five dollars from the black to silver to gold filter but for 5000-miles of NH 'golden road' driving it probably doesn't matter all that much, which Fram filter.
