I don't have an STi, but I do have an Outback with the EJ253 which I think uses the same filter. I have been using WIX 57712 when I need to do an oil change and am in a pinch. I read over on the Subaru Forester forums that the Beck/Arnley 041-8181 is made by Nippon and seemed similar to the...

That thing is pretty stout looking. Curious why you replaced with a Supertech rather than get another one of these OEM units? This filter looks to be close to WIX / Napa Gold quality construction. Is this off of a new vehicle?

2012 Subaru Outback 2.5 Out: Mobil 1 5W30 w/ WIX 57712 filter - 2300 miles on oil and filter In: Valvoline SynPower 5W30 w/ WIZ 57712 filter Going on a 1800 mile round trip. Wanted fresh oil.

What kind of car was this on if you don't mind me asking?

The eMachines has better specs for not much more. While the Sempron is a fine low end processor, the dual core Pentiums will mop the floor with them when it comes to any sort of multimedia. The extra 1GB of RAM in the eMachines is also going to be nice for 64 bit Windows 7. 4GB is really the...

Nope. That is AGP. You want a PCI card. You can get one new for about $40. Did the onboard graphics chip die on your 2400?

We have about 80 Dimension 2400s where I work at and none of them have AGP or PCI-e. If you need a second video card for your 2400 , then you will need a PCI video card like this: PCI Video Card @ Newegg Hope that helps :)

Disabling System Restore should delete all of the restore points. If for some reason it is not, run something like ccleaner or another temp file wiping program to get rid of them while System Restore is still disabled. Ccleaner Download Also run a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and...

Those are some impressive pics. I have to ask, what oils and OCI's were the other (more vernished and sludged up) engines running though? More info would be nice. Especially on the V6, I would love to know what OCI and oil were run in the V6 engine in the second pic.

I would highly recommend AVIRA. They have a free version of their client for basic coverage. The scanning engine is very fast and even though they do get som false-positives, the stuff it catches is worth the hassle. http://www.freeav.com/ We use the enterprise version where I work and I love...

Yeah it is supposed to be really nice here this weekend. I think I am going to take the battery and intake off again and see how deep the rust hole goes. I am truly hoping it is something I can "repair" myself. I love the car and am not truly ready to give it up yet even though its value is in...

While I was finishing up replacing the starter on my '96 Infiniti G20 yesterday I noticed a nice big rust bubble on the drivers side strut tower. I don't know how I missed it a month ago doing an oil change but I have been swamped with work and was in a hurry to just get some fresh oil in and a...

I would do that if they were not 108 miles away. Had it towed home and a locksmith from the area confirmed that the cylinder was bad. No amount of anything that I sprayed in there would have helped. He said he could re-key the new lock cylinder but since it's a beater I think I am just gonna...
