Subaru parts reviews
Super happy with the guys at PIA, and they use Eneos 5w40.
I think the 660's are the 'smart choice' being $200 cheaper and would probably last longer than the Yoks, specifically because of only 1.3\* camber and outside shoulder wear. I've also heard they don't heat cycle out like the RE's, which is a huge bonus IMO.
the blue Subaru coolant is made specifically for Subaru's and generally prolongs the coolant systems/head gaskets.
My car only gets Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Seems like a good quality oil!
Mobil1 should be fine. People are anal about oil but I've got 90k on my wrx with regular oil changes every 3-4k miles with Pennzoil ultra platinum or Mobil1 Extended Performance.
But to the guy who said OEM wipers aren't as good? Well, you're wrong. I've only had to put 3 total sets of wipers on this car in almost 5 years. They work through snow and ice and heavy rain. They are just good wipers and even cheaper than the fancy ones at Walmart.
When I picked her up, I was told my front and rear brake pads are all down 1mm already. At this rate I’ll likely need to replace them around 15k. I thought this made sense for the front pads since they’re the JURID high performance ones, but the rears being worn that much seemed strange. I don’t drive fast/brake hard/etc, never track, or do anything otherwise that should wear my brakes prematurely.
The brake pads suck.
I plan on getting third party rotors and pads when it is time to replace these because of all the complaints with the OEM ones.
