I've used Supertech 75w-90 GL-5 in my 2016 Impreza 5MT for years. She's at 247,000 miles and counting. Mike B

Sorry double-tap

Glad you're OK, that looks like a nasty lick. Have some bourbon with a book and a blanket. Mike B

Cool video!! Lake is cool. A nice set of headphones makes it even better!! Mike B

My 2012 Forester burned oil like crazy. 2+ qts per OCI if I remember right. Still, she got to 250k (ish) miles. Mike B

228,600 on 2016 base Impreza (manual) - most of those miles are on Supertech 5W-20 HM, used 3 12qt boxes of Mobil 1 5w-20 HM when I got them for $12.99 each. Supertech 75w-90 in rear diff and trans/front diff, too. Mike B

Mine was surely forgetting to check for the rubber seal (still attached to engine). Screwed new filter on, filled oil and made a huge mess in the driveway once I started the car. Mike B

My daily ('16 Impreza) and my fun car ('09 4.0 Mustang in avatar) are both manual. Mike B

This is surely an absolute clown show at COTA with this GWC thing. Yay, turn 1! First NASCAR race I've watched since Pocono last year, I will go back to that. Mike B

I heat up those vinyl ones and have my wife pick gently at it with her fingernails. ;) Then WD-40 if any residue. Mike B

Looked pretty real till the end! ;) Mike B

I prefer a manual. My Mustang (in avatar pic) and my DD 16 Impreza are both manual. My commute is 65 miles, all interstate. Get on 5 mi from home, drive 58 miles, get off exit at work. On the days where construction or other nonsense happens, I kind of wish I had an automatic, but I prefer the...

I used hockey pucks (two glued together) and cut a slot with a chop saw. I also bought pre-made ones and cut them down with the same saw to fit inside the plastic rocker panel molding. Mike B

Looks like a royal PIA. Bring it to a body shop and pay the man. :) Mike B

I listen to AM most days on the (70 mi) trip to work. Coming from NE PA to NY Husdon Valley, it's helpful. When the negativity gets to me (politics) I switch to iPod Jazz or CD's. Old school, I guess. Mike B

Probably a vapor/corrosion inhibitor. Mike B

If you own a Subaru that does a lot of highway miles, be prepared to change bearings. I consider them consumables @40K mi a year just to my job. Mike B

5-speed 2016 Impreza, usually 32-33 (calculated) per tank, 95% interstate driving to work. 205K and counting. Mike B

I have a local shop where I get all my tires. The owner is a great guy, and does free rotations for life. I have bought about 10 sets of tires from him. I'd rather deal with a good local shop, personally. Mike B

It sounds to me like you know exactly what you want, but don't know how to do it. Bring it to a professional. That's what I'd do in this case. Mike B
