You will retain a high percentage value in your Subaru if you do all the right services at the right time, don’t thrash your gear box and never attempt to service yourself. I find it difficult to believe you went to a Subaru dealer and got this price on a car that has been well maintained.
Subaru’s retain on average 73% of their value after 5 years, but you must look after your investment not give it to the back yard mechanics to maintain!!

Gordon,

Ive had 5 Subaru’s over the years and always run them on 98RON. Although it is not necesary, it makes a difference long term to economy and power. It is worth the extra few CPL.

Andrew,

Resale in Australia is not what it is in the US. Also trade in value is not indicative of private sale value. I lost $14k in 5 years on a 150000km Forester. That is resale value my friend.

GOOD Re-sale Value? HAHA! You are too funny. My 2006 Outback Sedan, which I paid over $33,000 new for, now with only 10,600 miles on it, and the car has never been wrecked and is as good as new.. Guess what the trade in value is!?!? Only $20K. Who is going to take over a $13,000 loss in less than a year on a car that is practically new? No one, the re-sale value on Subaru’s are horrible!

the RON rating for your car is 91 so you can use any fuel!
its only the turbo charged subarus that need 98,
however in saying that
BP Ultimate is much better for your engine regardless

After reading all the jargon, can you answer a simple question for me?

I have just purchased a Subaru 2.5i Outback, December last year, so it would be 2006 compliance plates.

I was told to use the BP Ultimate Fuel which is 98% octane. Is this suitable for this vehicle?

Simple answer, should I use BP Ultimate 98% octane or should I drop down to the Premium 95% octane?

Looking for a confirmation of exactly what can or should be used.

Regards,
Gordon Fogarty
