I used the aisin kit on my 07. Got it from summit at the time. No issues.
Subaru parts reviews
Outback has a Duralast Gold. If it helps, we’ve had some harsh -30°f days the last few years since I upgraded my battery. No issues what so ever on it.
I've installed the Odyssey Extreme battery in my Outback. These are AGM with 99% pure lead, not the alloy. Best battery I've come across.
I got a red top optima, put the subaru battery blanket on it. Good down to -10f.
I just did my ej205 with a gates kit and all bearings were NSK/koyo/NTN and matched the originals that came out.
I have a 16 with 110k miles and have consistently ran 5w-30 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum with no issues.
Motul 8100 X-Clean EFE 5w30 w/ black Subaru OEM filter
I got about 22,000 miles out of them. I never had any problems with grip, but they did wear out fast.
I got a bad mishimoto thermostat with similar results.
I had the same problem on my baja turbo with a stant therm.
