Also consider doing cvt fluid changes every 30k or so despite dealers considering it a “lifetime sealed unit”. So far mine hasn’t had the slightest hiccup over its 50k miles. They’re relatively simple and easy to service if you’re even slightly hands on as well. I certainly expect to get more than 10 years out of mine
Reviews of spare parts for Subaru
Amsoil is the best. I used it in a 19 crosstrek that i got 250k and it was still fine when i traded it in.
Personally, I prefer PIAA Si-Tech Silicone Wipers
I just had the clutch replaced this week with the Exedy FJK1005 OEM kit. Since yesterday I have noticed a consistent humming sound whenever the vehicle is decelerating/coasting in gear. This goes away when the throttle is engaged and I accelerate. It's a very consistent low bassy hum, no rattle or metallic clanking. Only happens when in gear and throttle not engaged. I've read that the Exedy dampers in the clutch disc don't block as much sound as the OEM Subaru ones. Besides this the actual function of the clutch is phenomenal and significantly improved from the old worn one. New Exedy flywheel as well.
I just recently switched to Nokian Wrg5 and so far I'm loving these on my 3.6 Outback. These seem to be a bit more winter focused.
The rotors I used are DBA 4000 series T3, and pads are HAWK HPS 5.0
Got my Outback used with 46k miles on it (23 model) and it is completely covered in tiny little chips. They don’t go through but they reflect like crazy when the sun is low. Hate it and strongly considering trying to get a new windshield. Will consider a protection film if I do that. Not bad enough to fail inspection but just one of those things that gets under my skin. Must be weaker glass- never seen that before like this
I came to reddit to make sure I wasn't crazy. 2025 Impreza. I just got it and had it out at night for the first time last night. Same exact issues. Very odd cutout on the road in front of me. Very distracting.
I thought the brakes sucked
I have a 2020 BRZ with SACHS performance shock absorbers. I’ve been having a rough ride. Subaru service center said the front struts are weak
