I only ever used Subaru blades on my 2011, for 10 years in Upstate, NY, winters. My 21 is on the second set of OE blades (installed under warranty) and they're also good quality. As others said - they're a competitive price and good quality so I see no reason to use something else.
I just buy the OEM blades from Subaru. They seem to be good quality and the price is comparable to a higher end Trico blade I would normally buy anyways.
Gasoline direct injection turbos are subject to problems with soot and fuel dilution. This combination is especially problematic for timing chains. No matter how good the oil, you can't beat a reasonable oil change interval for ensuring your oil doesn't have soot in it.
Oil being dark is a good indicator that you have to do an oil change. However, you shouldn't wait until it changes color to do it. Clear oil doesn't necessarily mean you can keep going.
OEM Subaru batteries and not the best. When it's time for replacement go with a 3rd party battery.
2021 outback onyx and we are on our third windshield after only 40k. Never had a windshield problem with an 01’ Nissan xterra that we drove to 150k and an 07’ accord that we drove to 110k. Subaru has an issue for sure.
My oem glass cracked easily when the very first small rock flew into my windshield.
I’m on my fourth.
Had to replace my stock windshield a few years ago due to a tiny rock thrown, and this was after having another chip repaired too. Paid for an actual OEM replacement out of pocket vs. aftermarket and had SafeLite install.
My windshield cracked last week smh
