I have a 2017 Subaru Forester Touring, I use Subaru OEM or Bosch. I think both brands are very good wiper blades.
I was hugely disappointed, because the pads are great. TBH, it's basically a low- to mid-tier race pad, so the price is not that ridiculous. I put quite a few track days on them and after trying out some other aftermarket pads, I actually went back to the OEM pads for 3-season street use.
Well, some manufacturers do have way shorter oil change intervals than Euro manufacturers. The Subaru severe driving interval is 3000miles/6 months, and I do lots of short trips in a desert climate so I usually try to be around 3-4000 to stay on the safe side for warranty and whatnot.
My Limited 2019 WRX has the tracking headlights. It’s actually really helpful (and you realize how helpful they are when you go drive someone else’s car that doesn’t have them).
Any tips or advice before I fork out money for a new battery? I have some anxiety hoping its not the alternator dying, or less likely the starter. All things point to a slowly dying battery but I want a second opinion.
The OEM battery sucks I upgraded mine to an AGM with an extra 100 or so CCA. A better battery will also let your auto start stop last longer. Stock battery would never last a stop light for while under load new battery gives me a lot more time even under load.
At what point would you recommend to change CVT fluid in a 2018 Forester? A relative has one with 45k miles and it developed a quiet “howling” noise starting at around 50mph. It is not very loud and we cannot the if it’s coming from the CVT. It doesn’t go away when transmission is shifted into Neutral at that speed. Front and rear differential fluid has been replaced.
The Japanese car that's let me down has been Subaru. Two blown head gaskets resulted in the engine overheating and basically turning into scrap.
My CPO Base Impreza 2019, with 26k miles, wouldn’t start. The starter motor failed and that part is out of warranty. I was just pissed because I had the car for less than 2 years.
They are the absolute worst air filters on the planet. I really like the STP filters from autozone, but to each their own (except Subaru cabin air filters, you can literally see through them, they are garbage).
