Also get a good Putolator or Subaru brand oil filter that is rated for the higher Subaru oil pressure so that it is filtering more often and not blowing open the internal filter bypass because Clean oil will make the engine last longer.
Motul 8100 xcess for high mileage. I've had a few subies thrive on this stuff.
Owner of an often abused 250k+ mile 2002 Outback here. I use Mobil1 full synthetic 5W20. Runs like a top.
I have a 2001 Forester L and I enjoy using Castrol Edge 5-30 during winter and Rotella T6 5-40 during the summer in Arizona.
My 2006 WRX has 323k on Castrol 10w-30.
I’m on rotella t6 on my ‘05 Impreza at 217k miles. Just had all the seals replaced. It has been on rotella since 132k miles. Runs really good.
when you do need a replacement, get it replaced with Pilkington brand. It's far superior to OEM (usually Carlex)
I've been using a Gates belt on my weekend toy for the past 5,000 hard, abusive miles with no catastrophic failure. I did have their water pump fail internally in under 1,000 miles. Replaced with Subaru OEM.
EyeSight-enabled Crosstrek windshields are larger than typical and have far less curvature; therefore, they’re more vulnerable than otherwise.
This windshield chips and gets pits more easily than anything I’ve ever driven. I hate it. I keep a windshield repair kit on hand at all times.
