vs
Spark plug BERU or OEM Subaru
Reviews
The most expensive proposition was a new windshield, but your particular insurance could solve that. Spark plug replacement was a surprise as far as cost is concerned. I've routinely changed the oil and cvt fluid once. No other maintenance issues. I love the car. Incredible roominess in the cabin and very capable offroad when needed.
Pros: no other maintenance issues, capable offroad
Cons: expensive windshield, costly spark plug replacement

My 2015 outback has 140k miles. I just did spark plugs and belt, brakes. That's the only maintenance I've ever done other than tires and batteries.

Subaru forester. Mine is a 15. Comfortable, decent gas mileage, able to seat 4 with stuff in back. Kayaks fit on roof. AWD helps in rain and snow. Easy to do basic maintenance, but spark plugs SUCK.
Pros: comfortable, decent gas mileage
Cons: spark plugs SUCK

Ive ran Beru ultra copper core for a couple months now and they are one step colder. I honestly dont even check gap on them and my shit runs smooth.
Pros: runs smooth
I use only NGK or Beru spark plugs.
use beru plugs rather than Bosch, a lot of Bosch plugs sold for this application has the wrong heat range which can cause misfires.
Pros: correct heat range
Cons: wrong heat range
Had these Beru plugs put in last year. Are they the kind that’s at greater risk for damaging the engine?
Cons: risk for damaging engine

Cons: shaking still present

I now dread doing spark plugs. Something that’s super easy to do on most 4 cyl cars is a PITA doing on my ej25.
Cons: spark plugs difficult to replace
RIP doing spark plugs at home and not hating life.
Cons: difficult to replace
Vehicle:
Subaru
