Subaru parts reviews

The OEM Geolanders that came on my '18 Crosstrek were the best tires I have ever owned and I always purchased Michelin or Continentals. I went back to Michelins because the Geolanders were 20% higher. The Michelins are no longer the benchmark of tires.

I have a pair of A/T3s on my Crosstrek and love them. Falken makes a dang good tire.

Went to O’Reilly and got the Bosch wipes and they went right on no problem.

I bought a few parts back off of it, including the nearly new KYB shocks I put on it that I then put on my sg(they were sg shocks).

I flip between Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Motul X-Clean both in 5W-30 depending on if I order ahead of time online or just go to the store/dealership for parts. Both have been good, just make sure to keep up on maintence schedules and you'll be fine with pretty much anything

I use Valvoline's Zerex Asian Blue prediluted, it works just as well.

I have always used OE pre mixed Subaru super blue coolant when I had to do any work on my cooling system. I bought my car new in 2013 and plan to keep it forever so I'm not trying to find out the hard way if the aftermarket stuff will be ok or not. The way I see it is, yes it's expensive for coolant, but how often do I actually buy it? Almost never. Even if you do the servicing as specified by Subaru, the stuff lasts a very long time. With that said, I did recently have to drain my coolant to replace the upper and lower hoses. My car has 176k miles on it now and the coolant was replaced not too long ago. So I got myself a clean aluminum pan to drain the coolant into to reuse it. It came out perfectly clean which means even after all those years and all those miles, there isn't a spec of corrosion or dirt in my cooling system. So I'm personally sticking with the stuff that helped keep it that way all these years

WeatherTech mats are better, but the stock mats have been adequate for my family so far.

We had problems with the auto on/off (not starting; laborious starting). We got a new starter and fuel injector installed.

I have a 2024 Forester, and I absolutely hate the headlights, to the point, I am not sure I would purchase a Subaru again. You have to use the brights in order to get the same field of vision as I got previously on my Camry.
