Subaru is starting to have customer retention issues because of recent product quality drops. Marketing to make you feel better about the company and more confident in your vehicle.

 

Maybe instead of a Yeti cooler they should include a free box of head gaskets?

 

Head gaskets would be nice to go with their revolving door of engine failures......

 

that's not good

 

Do you remember if it was Mean Gene? Beardo Josh? Or one of the other tardos from the wholesale counter?

I work downstairs and regularly get the wrong parts. Hard to believe they could fucker up a drain plug/fill plug/gasket order.

 

Haha. Mean Gene for sure.

 

Twice in one week!

 

They just need to design a larger oil pan, so you don't run out of oil over 5-6k miles........ The only downside would be the cost of 10 quarts of 0w-20......

Luckily the wife's subaru doesnt consume any oil..... But it did get a new CVT at 30ish k miles....

 

Can't we be any more lucky?

 

You brought this on us with that damned rental car!!! Curse you! CURSE YOU!!!

Happy friday the 13th

 

So far the list to get for the frame replacement:

-OEM outer tie rods
-CVJ rebuilt steering rack
-wheelers offroad extended rear brake lines


Anybody have any other suggestions?

 

Man, Jerry was my guy. He and I got along, which makes me maybe one of like 3 people who can claim that.

 

I am heading to Englehood in about 10 minutes.... want me to swing by your house..............

 

No because even with two gone the fords still out number all the other cars here..

 

@Star-Lord they are building a choo-choo!

Back and forth they go picking up cars from somewhere.

 

In honor of Friday the 13th

 

How recent is this? I drive a 2013 BRZ with 55k on it and no issues...yet?

 

Our 2017 Forester 2.5 stick shift (it's the cheapest base model) consumes oil. It has about 9,400 miles currently on it. Subaru now puts a low oil level warning light on their cars due to this I assume.

It didn't start consuming oil until the first oil change, which was from the factory fill (viscosity unknown, assume it was a break-in oil or had some sort of additive) to 0W-20 at 4,000 miles. Don't know for sure if they used Subaru oil or bulk, she had it done at the dealer. Rate was about a quart every 2,000 miles.

I put in 5W-30 on the second change at 8,000. This is what I had for the Tacoma, the book recommends that weight for 2.0 turbos and says it's OK to use in non-turbos if this is all that is available (which technically was true, it's all I had). The consumption has gone down. The level change has been negligible in ~1,400 miles so I dunno what conclusion to draw. I might stick with 5W-30.

 

Already worked 40hrs...time to head out. Anyone in Lakewood area want to join me?
