Subaru Forester parts reviews

Wild peaks are the shiz! No vibrations beasts on snow, ice, and rain. And drive smooth in the summer months. Overall these have been the best tire for the money.

Just traded in my 2015 Forester with 219,000 miles and the original spark plugs.

I use Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic in my 21 Forester. $23 for 5qt from Walmart and $12 oil filter from dealership.

Liquimoly molygen for the win.

I'm about 7 months into CC2s on my 2021 Forester and I'm now a fan. It took some getting used to but the driving has been really comfortable. Really good grip in wet weather and I'm not really seeing much if any dip in MPG. On longer trips I'm still clocking 34-35 MPG. For the noise people mentioned, I don't notice much of a difference from the stock tires - Bridgestone Ecopias.

I have them on my Forester, like them a lot. I don't notice the noise too much, but the Forester is rather loud anyways. They seem to be wearing at a normal rate.

Wilderness forester handling steep grades like a champ, stock Yokohama Geolandar tires did not like climbing back up though

I had this problem with my 2019 Forester in stop and go traffic on the Dallas North Tollway. I was able to force the car into park and shut it off and back on manually, and this happened about a half dozen more times before my dealer finally admitted that there was a class action on those batteries. I’ve since had it replaced two additional times under a labor warranty. Like I guess it’s fine because it’s free, but very annoying that I bought a Subaru for reliability and I’m in the shop at least every 9 months for a new battery.

I recently installed a Gates timing belt kit with pulleys and water pump in my 2001 Forester. Unfortunately, the water pump where it mates to the engine was not machined completely flat and had a very small leak. I ended up having my mechanic remove it and put a stock Subaru one in while he was working on my clutch.

I have an 09 Forrester and its nearly impossible to drive at night due to the headlights. Foggy, not bright and direction is off.
