My new 2025 Subaru Forester Limited

Oil extractor works great on my 2018 2.5L.
For samples or changes?
Also what oil extractor?
At various times I've tried a topsider, a mityvac, and my current HF 6.25gal model.. none got close to even 80% of the old oil out.
my tractor it leaves 1-2oz out of 65oz. other cars similar.

oil changes.
Pella 6000.

When pulled in forward to the garage the floor has a slight tilt from front of forester to the back. So the front wheels are just slightly higher than the back wheels. The first time I used the pump, I removed the oil plug to see how much came out and verify and only two drops came out of the drain plug. It is actually the best vehicle I have had for use with the oil extractor. There is a sweet spot as if you put the pump tube too far in, it turns up and comes out of the bottom of the pan. So sometimes I have to extract until i get bubbles then pull the tube out a bit to get the rest of it.
 
I might be going to but a 25 Forester Wilderness tomorrow .They have the color i want and they wont be around much longer as the Wilderness is still the 24 style Forester . Decisions decisions . Tundra has 97,000 on it and is in excellent cond.But i dont tow or haul anything and its becoming a pain to change oil etc as i can't put in the garage in winter to service it.Forester will fit in and is the easiest vehicle ive ever changed the oil on .I like the Tundra and it's been a very good truck. Just think its time to move on.

You had the dealer tint your windows? What did they charge for it?
Not sure honestly.But they took it to a local shop that does really nice work and i had the same shop tint my Tundra when i had it. Guessing $100 or so .But worth it to me as now i dont have to go get them done .

$100 for tints is unheard of these days so if the quality holds you definitely got a steal for them.
 
So we ended up trading the Crown for a 25' CT. The Crown was a great car but we live on a dirt road and it wasn't a good fit for our living conditions and the 21" wheels were getting beat. Now Rob had to make me mad after seeing that awesome color on the Forester... Now I wish I would have done that exact model :mad:
 
On a side note rant... These arn't 70's muscle cars. I'm not a fan of them putting the white lettering of the tires on the outside sidewalls. Reminds me of old school BFG Radial TA's on a 70' Chevelle.

I wasnt sure about the white letters.But it doesnt look all that bad in person and the lettering is somewhat on the small side ,so it's not too bad. When i replace the tires the will be black walls .Absolutely love the
Forester Wilderness so far.
