I just replaced the Firestone weathergrips on my 13 OB. They lasted a good 50k, and were great on the snow and ice and wet roads.
Honestly, go with the premixed Subaru blue coolant. It has the correct additives and will not harm the engine.
I always keep a gallon on hand and only needed to top up small loss from summer driving in my previous Outback.
I'd also recommend the Bosch icons.. every auto parts store will tell you they won't fit, but they do. The connector is even pictured on the box.
Agree with all that has been said! My battery crapped out on my 2020 outback recently. Immediately put in a non-OEM brand. Optima to be specific. Couldn\u2019t be happier.
These tires do appear stop well and provide better driving across wet roadways. I don’t get a chance to really drive them on snow where I live. But plenty of chances for Rain. Which is why I bought them.
If I was paying for it out of pocket, I would run with a non OEM windshield from Pilkington. They are a premium auto glass manufacturer with better performing glass for UV protection, cooling, sound and durability.
Subaru knew their customers were gonna pitch a fit about this so they way overbuilt the starter. It’s rated for 260,000 starts which breaks down to a little over 70/day every single day for 10 years. It’s also physically much larger than the standard starter from previous generations.
I had the same problem with the plastic piece that attaches to the windshield on my ‘16. Took to the dealership. All was good. Glue from the factory isn’t that good.
How were the brakes? My concern with towing is the brakes. I have not towed anything mainly for this reason. I find the brakes to be a weak point of the car and the rear pads wear out very quickly, on the 2013 version anyway. I am not a heavy footed driver, no fast starts, no slamming of brakes at lights and stop signs. Keep things nice and smooth, no riding of brakes, no fast corners which would engage the rear brakes more due to the vector control system (whatever they call it). Rear brakes wear fast and overall braking is fair. Your thoughts from a trailer perspective? Thx!!!
Just search windshield in this sub and you'll find many like minded souls. The OEM windows are paper thin and prone to chips, cracks, and tiny chips that turn into 3 foot cracks.
