Subaru parts reviews

I do Motul @ 5k.

I’m at 133k with no weird noises, knocks, etc.

Mobil1 every 6k like my owner’s manual says. Mine is stock. Blackstone says my oil would be able to go longer if I wanted.

2016 stock WRX here. 6k OCI's using Subaru filters and Mobil 1 5w-30 EP oil backed up by oil analysis. 90k miles presently.

Continental DWS 06+. They are an awesome all season tire.

5k with Rotella T6.

20 years driving modified STIs with zero issues.

I do 3k with Amsoil SS as well. Blackstone analyses of TBN show I could easily do 5,000k.

Mainly the EJ25 Outbacks have problems due to the failure of their head gaskets being pretty much inevitable. Also 2012+ Outbacks have a bad rep for their CVTs, not because they're bad, but because Subaru America stated that the CVT fluid is a lifetime fluid when every other country recommends replacing it every 50,000 kms, causing US models to blow up their transmission after just over 100,000 miles. This isn't a problem if you service your CVT regularly.

My '09 Impreza had a clunk after installing MOOG ball joints and it turned out that the bore on one side wasn't tight enough/the part was too small, allowing it to move up and down against the retaining bolt.

I finally went aftermarket for the battery and windshield replacement that last time and they did seem like upgrades. If you're having issues, don't go back to OEM replacements given that they're garbage.

my wipers crapped out at year two but i\u2019d rather have the better aftermarket bosch ones anyway
