    2020 Subaru STi 21k miles. Need help selecting 5w-30 oil (extended SoA 8 year 80k warranty)

    You would be comfortable running an ILSAC RC oil in a 300hp 2.5 liter? Think 600Hp mustang 5.0 foxbody when you think Sti for a power density comparison. @bluesubie has a ton of pressurised EJ experience @kschachn post #10 sounds reasonable.

    Confused about New Subaru Outback oil filters..part number / numbers

    Interesting I thought the -20A was on everything minus the BRZ that gets the -170 motorsport spec filter . You have an American made car, assuming engine was crated with filter from Japan. May have a Tokyo Roki Japan filter not available in the U.S. as a part. Confirming is this application...

    3,000 Mile Oil Change

    I was in the 5 - 6k camp with moderate commuter usage, and up to 9k with the wifes long highway commutes. Worked fine and dandy. Now I am retired with saddled with a Ford sporting engine killing D.I. and super high compression on 87 E10, I get to about 2300 miles before an oil change...

    2014 Subaru Outback, 6MT with 150K miles - opinions?

    Not impressed with the quality coming out of SIA (Indiana) We had to dump a Brand new '22 Outback in a year due to multiple issues. Luckily during that multi-year virus epidemic lack of car availability drove her trade-in price up to what she paid for the thing! But, had to pay sticker for the...

    Deer and other animals continuously ramming my car

    Invasive Animals in cars and trucks driving though another animal's habitat. Maybe if we haven't overpopulated this blue-marbled orb so.

    Having Tread is a big plus for safety. Good job! No Husband to take care of these things for her? Sorry don't mean to pry.

    Unaligned ODO screams 119,000 mi to me, but seats say 19K. IDK. I would want a consistent title and reg and service inspection paper trail to prove mileage

    We had decent luck once with a Sumitomo replacement on a Forester. Often times the car handles and steers poorly without factory tuned tires. Sumitomo HTR A/S P02 Sumito

    A little late to ask, Michelin is not a magic bullet. $800 sounds expensive to me for 'middle of the road' tires. maybe $100 too much installed - not terrible. Are those Destination LE? I had those on my truck they were O.K. General AltiMax RT43 used to be a favourite on the forum. I...

    New mechanical tip Pt 2

    Old worm and roller box not much kick back and mad hand whipping the wheel just to take a right hand turn, LOL. The Old Gents will remember. Some of our rods get a Mustang II with a rack. Sometimes take an extra U-joint and a pillow block to get there. Safer in a wreck for sure. Just a side...
