The dealership here itself was using 5w-30 as the default for oil changes even though 0w-20 is stamped on the filler cap. After checking myself that Subaru said that would be OK, I started using it too for my own changes just to avoid flipping back and forth -- though I have no idea if that would be a problem. In any case, the Forester seems happy, even if the mileage may have dipped slightly.
Reviews of spare parts for Subaru Forester
Eu am AT-uri all season (yokohama geolandar g015), foarte multumit. Am fost si la schi iarna asta, drumuri necuratate, n-am avut probleme. La franare pe zapada parca lasa putin de dorit, dar nici michelin-urile vechi de iarna nu erau grozave.
I just replaced all 5 on my Forester, BF Goodrich All Terrains, for AU $1250, so about US $840 at Costco.
Forester pros: great Cargo space(same as a utility truck), high of the ground, very big windshield with little visibility problems
I have the Nokian Encompass AW02 a very similar style tire but cheaper. Been happy with them so far. Was recommended at discount tire for my Subaru Forester. If you want another option...
I have them on my 23 Forester and wish I had went with a different tire but that's simply my personal situation. The CC2 isn't a bad tire by any means. I've drove with them in our last snow storm which ended up dumping 6 inches and they didn't lose traction unless I made it and even then they'd recover traction within 2 seconds if I wasn't hooning it. My main reason for wanting something like the Defender 2 series is thr mpg hit my forester took. I went from about 34 - 35 mpg down to barely able to sustain 30mpg and easily sitting between 28-29 mpg now.
I just put them on my Forester and am now struggling to maintain 30mpg whilst before I was sitting between 34 - 36 depending on how many red lights I caught that week. I kind of wish I had gone with the Defender 2 series or another touring tire personally as I already have Blizzak WS90s on my Wrx STi that I can use for heavy snow
My Forester is 2021, already replaced the starter and the battery. The current battery starts to feel weak as well.
i wish i knew forester windshields chip and crack easily. my 24 forester limited has 26k miles on it. there's three large chips in the windshield and hundreds of small flecks missing.
