Reviews of OEM Subaru parts For Business

Use the MLS headgaskets... subaru part number 11044AA770. I never use the single layer gaskets when I do NA motors. Also stick with OEM parts. Especially when doing head gaskets.

replace them with the head gasket from the EJ255 or 257. They’re made of MLS and most shops do that in order to make it last longer since they rarely blow.

Not only is it fine, it’s widely considered the best option for the WRX. I have had multiple cars and always did my own oil changes. On my first oil change on the WRX I used my (at that time) tried and true Mobil 1 high performance oil filter and the seal blew and made a mess. Luckily I caught it before any damage was done. Since then I’ve exclusively used Subaru OEM oil filters and had zero issues.

Since then I have take good care of it, replaced the brakes on schedule in August 2020 and then in August 2021 new spark plugs.

We just got the 60k service done (spark plugs) and it still does it.

My outback right now is cracked.

My 2018 started having starter issue at around 40k.

I have had intermittent issues with a cold start where it would need to crank for much longer than seemed appropriate.

We had the starter die long before the recalls and paid out of pocket and then had to fight with Subaru for some of our money after the recall came out. 3 years later, here we are again with a dead car and I think it is the starter as it is acting the same way it did last time. We replaced it with an OEM starter so I am now wondering if that was part of the batch that was recalled? I'm honestly so sick of this car not starting when we need it to

The only odd thing is I had my driveshaft go bad. At about 120k it started vibrating.
