Subaru parts reviews
Motul. Always. Held up over 500hp for 2 years zero issues on unopened stock block plus its what almost all tuners recommend.
Motul 8100X-Clean for me, no problems!
Pretty good, especially if you have, or plan to get a separate set of snow tires. The sidewalls are pretty stiff compared to even other summer tires I've had before, but they grip very well wet or dry. I don't have any desire to replace them.
I've been running Idemitsu oil in the XT and the wife's Crosstrek for the last four and five years and have been happy with it.
Mobil 1 ESP has specs very close to Subaru Japans own Pleiades oils. Its got loads of great certs, is widely available, well priced and highly regarded by loads of people.
I've had good luck with Castrol for several years in two WRXs.
Set of Bosch Icons on my STI were installed in 2019. Being in Socal, that's quite a while (UV degradation usually gets them). They still haven't torn but they're starting to streak a bit
I had this happen in my 2020 outback around 37k miles. Dead battery was the culprit. Fortunately I shut off all my electronics and lights and it had just enough power to get it to restart. I got the battery replaced by Subaru under the extended 5 year warranty from a settlement for premature battery failure. It failed right after my 36k service at the dealer I think the car was about 4 years old at the time.
This happened to me during rush hour on a busy street! 2020 Legacy, they told me it was a known issue with the battery and replaced it for free. It was an incredibly stressful morning though.
