OEM Subaru › Engine oil

theweirddood 2 Jan 2024, 02:54

Rating 5.0

Yes, it is good advice. When a new engine is breaking in, there is a lot more wear metals. It's not uncommon to see metallic flakes or shimmer in the oil during your first oil change. Parts wear/bed in. That's why there is a break-in period on almost, if not all new cars.

I did my first oil change at 1k miles on my BRZ; I saw a lot of metal shavings come out of the oil. The oil also had a metallic shimmer to it. This is totally normal, but I want to get rid of all of that so it is not circulating around the engine post-break in period.

Pros: removes wear metals, good advice

Cons: metallic shimmer

Vehicle: Subaru BRZ

Mileage: 1000 km

Fit:

It fits your windshield perfectly.

Pros: perfect fit

Vehicle: Subaru

OEM Subaru › Spark plug

VentiEspada 25 Nov 2023, 02:00

Rating 5.0

Acceleration:

Changing my sparkplugs for the first time (32k miles, yes it's early but I got a great deal on the plugs) and found that the stock plug in cylinder 4 actually had a ground electrode defect and was significantly thicker than normal. The car runs stronger than it ever has as this was likely causing extra timing pull.

Pros: car runs stronger

Cons: ground electrode defect

Vehicle: Subaru

Mileage: 51500 km

Order OEM Tstat only. Subaru used the same one for decades. Any Subaru from '97 uses the same one.

Pros: reliable for decades, wide compatibility

Quiet A/C:
Smooth operation:
No belt squeal:

There’s an o ring in the AC Compressor that might be worn (mine went at 96000 miles), got it fixed under warranty and got cold air again

Pros: fixed under warranty, got cold air again

Cons: o-ring worn

Mileage: 96000 km

Cooling performance:

I have a 2018 and had to get a new compressor. I have a great mechanic and he straight up tells me that Subaru a/c are just garbage. I have an ‘09 Corolla and a ‘17 F-150 work vehicle, and both of those put out ice cold a/c no issues. Even with the new a/c, coolant, and everything else, it still pretty weak.

Cons: weak performance, poor quality

Vehicle: Subaru Forester

Chips/cracks:

I've had my windshield crack on all three of my subarus. Last time I went in last year with my 2020, the guy at safelite told me they are prone to breakage because of the angle they're at. They said they get subs and jeeps the most because of this

Cons: prone to breakage, design flaw

Chips/cracks:

As for weak glass on Subarus? Probably not exactly what you think. IIRC, Subaru has started designing their frames to include the windshield as a structural component. This allows them to have smaller A-Pilars, which have grown to be massive these days. The downside of this is that a rock strike that you would normally brush can grow as the new weak point is challenged by the frame. What causes our windshield replacement was a hit that caused a quarter-sized crack, at the start of a 10 hour road trip. I watched that crack grow to 18 inches over that trip. While thermal expansion and frost could do that on older cars, I’ve never seen a crack grow quite like that.

Cons: prone to cracking, cracks grow rapidly

Vehicle: Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Overheating:

Avoid older Subarus with a EJ25 engine, especially 2012 or before. The head gaskets are shit.

Pros: null

Cons: head gaskets are shit

OEM Subaru › Battery

Cranking:
Lights:

I had this happen in my 2020 outback around 37k miles. Dead battery was the culprit. Fortunately I shut off all my electronics and lights and it had just enough power to get it to restart. I got the battery replaced by Subaru under the extended 5 year warranty from a settlement for premature battery failure. It failed right after my 36k service at the dealer I think the car was about 4 years old at the time.

Pros: replaced under warranty

Cons: dead battery, premature failure

Vehicle: Subaru Outback

Mileage: 59545 km
