Subaru parts reviews

I've got Blizzaks on my WRX and I absolutely love them.

Yokohama ice guard on my WRX. Does well in slush. Real good in deep snow. Wet roads very good. Dry pavement and temps above 45F, not so great.

Blizzaks on my wrx, amazing in the snow and ice, and handle cold like a champ.

I've tried a number of different filters from OEM, Purolator, Amsoil, and Prova. I will say this. When I used the Amsoil filter and did an oil change, the oil came out looking like it went in. So no, not all filter are created equal. I haven't done an oil change with the Prova yet. Not driving as much with WFH.

Not only is it fine, it’s widely considered the best option for the WRX. I have had multiple cars and always did my own oil changes. On my first oil change on the WRX I used my (at that time) tried and true Mobil 1 high performance oil filter and the seal blew and made a mess. Luckily I caught it before any damage was done. Since then I’ve exclusively used Subaru OEM oil filters and had zero issues.

On my first oil change I used Mobil One Synthetic 5w30. That's what most people recommended as well, at least as far as being able to stop into a store and grab some real quick. There's probably better stuff that's pricier and harder to find.

Got some mobil 1 and it feels pretty good.

Any tips or advice before I fork out money for a new battery? I have some anxiety hoping its not the alternator dying, or less likely the starter. All things point to a slowly dying battery but I want a second opinion.

I have a slow oil leak (something like a quart every 1,500 miles). Dealer quoted just under $3,000 for the fix when it was 17 years old with 110,000 miles. I'll just buy the occasional quart of oil.

2020 XT, I had Yoko Geolandars, now Nokian Outpost APT both 3peak rated, neither are as good as my Yoko IceGuard winter tires in snow/ice or cold weather.
