Subaru Forester parts reviews

I personally use Peak brand coolant, and I've never had an issue for 100K+ miles.

I use rotella 5-40 in mine. It's really cheap for a full synthetic and I saw less oil consumption after switching. It's intended for diesel engines but I haven't seen any negative effects after using it for 60k miles. I usually change it around 4k miles.

Finally replacing stock ('15 XT) garbage tires and I know nearly anything will be a huge improvement but thanks in advance for any opinions.

I\u2019ve been really really happy with Yokohama Geolandar AT/S on my Forester. I\u2019m on the second set are great in any setting, and extremely quiet and long wearing for how aggressive they are.

I ended up going with stock kyb gr2 struts and swift lowering springs. It rides very smooth and looks good.

I have Firestone Winterforce tires on 15" Forester wheels for the winter set and Goodyear Assurance all seasons on 16" impreza wheels for summer tires.

I got ANCO 31 series blades from Amazon for like $8. They are working fine.

I ended up buying one of these, because of the amount of smoke, I didn't trust the old one, and I couldn't get a reconditioned one in the UK for my particular car. Shipping over a new one from the USA would hurt, so I've gone with this. I don't imagine it will last as well as an OEM version though, as I'm not entirely convinced it is genuine. Zexel is an OEM on some parts though. Who knows. Seems to be built well though:

I have a 2019 with 40000km and the windshield just cracked for the second time this week. Wasn't even a big chip that caused it.

I own a 2017 Forester. I’ve had to have the windshield replaced twice due to it cracking all by itself. The NHTSA reports are absolutely true. The second time it sat at the dealer for over 4 months because they were on back order. This is all due to Subaru using thin lightweight glass to increase fuel economy for CAFE numbers.
