You get me. I printed out the UOA and kept it in the maintenance book I've been keeping. Part numbers for all the parts I've added from Subaru, including STi parts and journaling what I've been doing and why. Even the STi stickers with the part numbers that they place on the boxes, I've cut up...

Word. Once I read Blackstone, my critic glasses slipped on by itself for everything else that was said.

I know. It's just one of those goofy "this guy is weird" kind of thing where I bought the car brand new where I picked up with only 7 miles on the odometer and I want the paperwork on oil changes and maintenance including the OCI. I don't usually buy new cars so it's just that.

Yup. I just had a bunch of 0W-20 lying around and a couple quarts of 0W-30 Racing. My use case would not warrant 0W-20 and wanted a bit of protection during break-in that the Racing oil would provide. I also have a 0W-50 Racing that I thought about using again for these super short OCIs...

What's your use case like? 5% is quite a bit indeed. I assume all my spirited driving and track days will only make the fuel dilution worse not better?

What are you running in your Outback? We practically have the same engine. Blackstone has their own issues which is why I tried SpeedDiag. Maybe I'll look into Oil Analyzers.

Who would you recommend to perform the UOA?

1QT Mobil1 Racing 0W-30 + 4QT Mobil1 EP 0W-20 Had a bunch of 0W-20 lying around and a couple Mobil1 Racing 0W-30. I wouldn't run the Mobil1 Racing by itself but felt iffy about running 0W-20 on this motor to begin with since I tend to push the vehicle pretty hard. This would have been my 2nd...

$100 for tints is unheard of these days so if the quality holds you definitely got a steal for them.

You had the dealer tint your windows? What did they charge for it?

The car was never meant to really go off-road unless you decided to get a base/premium trim and just lift it. Plenty of people do it and do offroad with the WRX. The TR trim was really made for track use. Stiffer chassis, stiffer springs, Brembos, etc. but it's not like they're going to take the...

Nope. Subaru just decided to throw cladding at anything that they thought would go off-road or at least give the image of it. Honestly, it just grew on me and I plan on painting it piano black to match all the STi underbody parts. As far as the oil goes, we'll see. I still haven't hit my...

Thanks. I'm enjoying the car as much as I can while trying to play nice with my warranty. I did not engine mods so its just stock power and its something like 34xx lbs. You'd prob fine the specs through Google. It's a fun car to push around for sure and surprisingly easy to drive. The ADAS is...

I get where you're coming from. I'm avoiding engine mods for warranty reasons and strictly worked on suspension parts, etc. I don't know what MY WRX you pushed on the track but its' been getting changes and upgrades through the years. Even the 2024+ MY TR got stiffer chassis. It's still a little...

A little late for introductions but here it is. Picked up a 2024 Subaru WRX TR back in February as they were trying to get all the '24 model years out the lot to make room for '25s. After shopping around different dealerships that were willing to work with me I finally found the car in the color...

Congrats. Let us know how you enjoy it! I considered a Outback Wilderness myself before I picked up my WRX. The Wilderness trim is really nice if done well.

C&P? Edit: After using search I think it has something to do with cutting open the filter and checking for particles? Honestly, I have no issues doing so except I don't have the tool thing to cut the filter open.

2024 Subaru WRX (995 Miles) Out: Factory Fill. In: 1QT Mobil1 Racing 0W-30 / 4QT Mobil1 EP 0W20. Didn't replace the factory filter. I'll replace it when I swap it out once more time at 3000 miles.

Hmm.... maybe I'll consider changing over consider we drive practically the same car.
