OEM Subaru Head gasket

2013 3.6R and it's been a great car 207k on the odometer and the worse thing I had to do was a head gasket. No other issues with regular maintenance and well worth the price of keeping the car on the road.

Pros: great car, worth price
Cons: head gasket replacement
Vehicle: Subaru Outback
Mileage: 33313 km

VALVOLINE Engine oil

  • Engine noise:
Rating 4.0

Running it in my Subaru outback 2.5 with 50k miles. I noticed a difference in the first 1k miles.

Better compression and better mileage (2 to 3 mpg!) a lot quieter!

Also running it in Subaru outback 2.4 turbo with 30k miles. A bit better. Not huge. But noticing.

Also a lot quieter!

Pros: better compression, better mileage
Cons: not huge difference
Mileage: 50000 km

BRIDGESTONE Tires

My Outback in Australia came with factory fitted Bridgestone Dueller H/P Sports. Got 72K km (44.7K miles) out of the first set and although I could have probably kept them longer, a "buy 3 get 4th free" sale encouraged me to replace all 4 with the same tyres

Pros: long lifespan (72k km)
Mileage: 72000 km

Pros: fantastic, long lifespan
Mileage: 104607 km

Cooper Tires

My '02 Outback also rarely put wear on its tires. I drove that one much more offroad too and it had Cooper Discoverers that held up extremely well in all weather - snow, rock roads, summer asphalt, muddy parking lots.

Pros: excellent all-weather performance

Rating 1.0

I mistakenly bough Bosch Direct Connect. They were so complicated I ended up putting them back in the box and got Bosch *icons* I think it is in my outback. Way easier. And a whole lot less stress

Pros: Way easier, less stress
Cons: complicated
