The dampner is really just a CNC metal 2 piece clamping device that lessens the flex of the rubber dampner between the two u-joint shafts. The Subaru rubber dampner is known to be too soft. Many have used it with solving results. After all the above changes the car has improved. I would not say...

Dealer says, cannot replicate the problem. This is a known issue on impreza and crosstrek.

Can someone look at this Alignment report and tell me if these little changes would have effect? 2019 Impreza. Highway speeds 60+ the car wonders all over the place. Required constant corrections to steering. Changed wheels, tires, and install a steering dampner. The impreza/crosstrek steering...

Thats amazing that there is so many speeding tickets in one of the slowest eco cars on the road. Takes like 10+ seconds to get to highway speed. They do ride very smooth and could give the driver feeling of slow speed. Can you post the source? I would love to read.

I have had 5 Subarus. Last two I still have. 2019 Impreza Sport 5-door, and a 2020 STI. My 2011 Outback I sold it at 120k miles. Zero issues.......99% of Subarus are slow. The outback had the ej253 sohc. Slow but A to Z always. The 19 is the slowest Subaru I have owned but I avg 37mpg on a 80...

I had bought these 57045 Wix filters in bulk for my 16 Suburban. Wix has changed the filter to a different filter now. I still have 6. What to do?

A co-worker took his old ranger there for a rear diff fluid change. They drained the old out and sent him on his way with no fluid. After about 3 months of arguments he got his rear diff changed out at the Ford dealer at there expense. I think he had to have a lawyer send a certified letter of...

I have owned 7 Subaru's from 2 dealers. Both dealers offered the first oil change free at half of the manuals OCI. All of the N/A Subaru's I have had were very easy on oil. The EJ turbos on the other hand were rough on oil. I have had 5 EJ N/A engines, 1 FA20DIT, and 1 EJ257. The FA20DIT always...

It has been a short time and the world is also in a covid state. Im not suprised......my local Wallymart oil shelf has lots of bare spots.

I dont see that going in favor of the customer......ever. Side note: 115k miles on a subaru naturally aspirated is nothing. How would they judge normal wear......they wouldnt, its all going to be diagnosed as normal wear or customer driving habits.

Yup, 250k is a common achievement with GM 5.3l. Plus with its powerband, upper RPMs are hardly touched.

Are they not the Subaru Syn maker for USA?

I also found a 5qt Castrol 5w-30 Edge sitting on my shelf I forgot I bought for the Outback we sold. Perhaps Ill run that one first being its going to be a 3k mile OCI next.

I had a 2015 WRX that I ordered on the 2nd day of open ordering. I typically don't buy first year of anything but I have a soft spot for WRX and STI. Been that way from 90s. Also the excitement of a platform that did not include the EJ. My FA20dit was hard on oil from fuel dilution. So bad I...

I have been told that Mobile 1 5w-30s do not perform well in the ej257 engine and they shear below a 20wt.

Well twice a year is no big deal for me. I have a lift in the garage. The OCI would be like 1000 miles though.....seems like a waste.

Our 2014 Durango has the 3.6/ZF combo. It just hit 60k miles and we have had zero issues with the engine/trans. The long LED taillight on the other hand......[censored], I am on my 4th. Keeps filling with water. I got the dealer to throw in the mopar backed unlimited warranty when we bought that...

I see that Mobil 1 has a 0w-40 euro oil also. I would like to see uoa on that with a ej257. That stuff is available at Costco and they do $8-12 off sales per 6 qt case.

Just reading all the STI forums on EJ oil issues gives you a headache. Sooooo many opinions and only some with UOAs. You can see 10 peoples EJ with same oil and miles and UOAs all over the place. Almost all from Blackstone. Majority from the enthusiast crowd stay away from Subaru 5w-30 but they...
