Have them on all my vehicles, great item! I was thinking, has anyone ever put one on a dirt bike? I have a Yamaha and the oil plug is well protected from a skid plate.

Buying a Subaru Forester with the new FB25 engine was the worst car buying mistake I've ever made... Learn from my mistakes, don't buy a Subaru. It's like a mom and pop organization that can't own their mistakes and fix them.

If you decide to switch manufacturers, definitely don't look at Subaru. They have the market cornered in the world of oil consumption. AND they'll tell you it's normal, no issue, all engines use oil, blah blah blah. I wish I had stuck with a boring Toyota....

Wouldn't that be the FB25 engine? Just look up oil consumption issues with the new Subaru FB25 engine. Nothing to do with long OCI's a lot of them eat oil right from the start. I won't buy another Subaru. You have to start something called a 'consumption test' with a Subaru dealership......I...

Amazon.ca is very different from Amazon.com, night and day.......... If you can find a good price and it's qualifies for free shipping you'll be good. Amazon.ca is a sad sad cousin to Amazon.com. It's just like Netflix and all the other things the Canadian goverment gets their fingers in to...

One of the best things I got for my place. I was on the roof 6-7 times a year with the blower, blasting out the eaves. http://www.alu-rex.com/en/home

303 Protectant it's the best

drain/fill the pan 4 times with Amsoil ATF and bob's your uncle. Even opponents of Amsoil seem to begrudgingly admit the ATF is good stuff. Just my .2 cents. Run Amsoil ATF in all my vehciles, always smooth, never an issue. My comment only applies to your first question, the rest of your...

I have one and it uses oil (FB25 Engine), I'm told it's less than what's listed above in owner's manual, all is good, I have no problem....... Seems to drink more on long highway trips in warmer weather. You can go to the Subaru Forester site and read a thread that goes on forever about it. A...

Not a problem here.......in Calgary Alberta Canada: 1. It's illegal to wash your car at your house on your driveway 2. Cats need to be on leashes when outside. Calgary now has a big mouse problem, no rats, just mice. Saying that I still occasionally do it out back, quickly and hope none of my...

Looks like the US is catching up to Canada's 'drop your pants' shipping rates. Buying and Amazon Prime membership is worth every cent as a yearly fee is like taking the band aid of quickly.

I'm pretty sure there's an 'Alberta' factor with that pricing, and if you looked in other provinces they wouldn't get away with that. If it's Ft. McMoney or Calgary, then it's just another day in a super expensive place, long live $100 barrel oil.

I'm glad Canada has the United States as a nieghbour! I have so much respect for veterans.

Forget about the CVT, worry about the oil eating FB25 engine. Take 5 minutes and ask to look at the owners manual before you buy it: 1 quart per 1000 mile consumption is normal. They actually come with a 'low oil light'. As long as your good with that buy away! It's like buying a 2 stroke car

Sorry about your predicament..........Subaru, quirky and fun! I have found that compared to Honda and Toyota, you'll find the customer service at Subaru hit and miss. Lots of bad stories, a few good ones. Think of it as dealing with a mom and pop grocery store instead of a big chain. Be...

Never done this but thought it was brilliant. 1. Get a large piece of ABS pipe that a cat could creep down, block off one end by putting it against a wall or put a cap on it. 2. coat a good section of the pipe with whatever crummy grease you have around. 3. Put the ABS pipe with grease on the...
