Racing engine/ Classic car. Why not? Loaded with good stuff. Looks much better than all the generic 30 sae out there like supertec.

What's the hths for the 0w-20 version?

Nothing like a proper rebuild period. Rebuild and reseal. All the people restoring old gearboxes end up damaging it with premature wear in the worm gear and bearings.

Great to see a fellow Willys owner. I own a couple of WW2 Jeeps. I'd try the Valvoline VR1 oil next time. Any pics on the Jeep? Honestly an engine rebuild on these Willys is cake. What's your plan with this thing? Is it restored?

The batteries are worth every penny! Beware of buying them locally due to most of them being old stock. Purchase them directly from their largest dealer. Super nice people and always have the latest production batch. Upgraded my Subaru outback 2021 oem battery. Weigh less and have better...

First I’ve heard of mass issues with GM ecotec engines. 90% of engines after 60k regardless of brand will probably break a bolt or two anyways.

Why would anyone mess with a brand new engine under warranty 5 year/ 60k. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Been using these for a couple years with no complaints. Rock solid...

Sounds like you need to install a fumoto valve and be done with it.

I have zero reason to lie! I simply declined after market rims they sell in-house and was offered tire replacements instead. Do you need me DM you my receipt?

Just checked my airbox and the intake ducting. Everything is nice and tight. I guess I'll just wait for another 2-3 oil changes before testing again for silicone. Guessing it's factory new sealant/ gaskets still shedding.

Normal driving the CVT is quite smooth on the Subarus. However If you drive it aggressively or at high speeds it will simulate shifts and use firm shift points. In theory there are no shifts on a CVT.

I could of probably pushed for new OEM wheels. However getting scratch marks was bound to happen overtime with shops. So I figured getting new tires was a better choice as far as compensation. I don't currently have the means to rotate my own tires. I'm seriously reconsidering if I take my new...

I agree! Not having the correct sockets was a $1200 mistake. Could probably buy the whole shop a set with that amount of money. Anyways I had 2 previous rotations with them and no issues. So either somebody wasn't paying attention or they simply used a huge socket out in a hurry.

So I recently took in my Subaru Outback for a tire rotation at Discount Tire. Next day washing/ detailing my car I noticed several lug nut opening had swirl marks from oversized or misused sockets. Recently did a brake job myself and all the rims were immaculate. Anyways I left some feedback on...

I wouldn’t say 100% that’s the reason. Harder you accelerate the more fuel is used. Fuel gets past the rings regardless. However since your probably the only person online that’s actually gone beyond the 10k miles boundary and actually posted it. I guess first time most Subarus owners get to see...

It’s a sad world we live in as far a customer service and craftsmanship goes. People don’t even double check their work. Post covid workforce sucks.

I think the OP results are excellent. However I just can’t make any sense of it. It’s been repeatedly said here and in other Subaru forums that there’s no difference in dilution with highway or city with FB25DI. Almost everybody has fallen out of grade rapidly by the 2-3k mark on 0w-20. Even I...

I always take my samples with my engine fully warmed up. 190+ deg F. Dilution was probably down due to winter being very mild this year in MN. This sample happened to be taken after a 30 mile round trip. Nobody yet really knows what fuel dilution would do in large quantity if modern DI at the...
