Maybe last year I got a letter from Subaru Canada saying the battery was being recalled and I could get a replacement.
…After I had already replaced it with an Optima Yellow Top.
I just installed mine recently and works great. Just keep in mind it's an AGM battery.
My car previous to that ('98 Z/28), had an Optima Yellow top. The car sat in garaged for several months with a map light left on, and the battery was dead. It took about 15 minutes of jumping to get interior lights, and another 10-15 minutes to start. After this, I drove that car for another 4 years with the same battery without any other issues.
The OEM tundra batteries only last me 3.5 years at best. I always replace with an Optima battery.
I always buy an Optima battery for all my cars cuz they last a lifetime.
When I replace mine I went with the Optima Yellow Top. Seems to be hanging in there 6 years later.
I run Panasonic in ours, so far so good.
my yellow top won't hold a charge after two winters in my project car. will never spend another dime with them
Bought a new one and had to warranty it 6months later.
All since lifespan has been 2-3 years. I only sell them at customer request…
