    HELPFUL INFO:
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Rear Diff oil change info:

    Ok a little more details with part numbers.

    803926090 - Front Differential Seal (also tranny seal on MT cars) - Torque is 51.6 Ft-Lbs
    11126AA040 - ATF Drain Seal - Torque is 18.1 Ft-Lbs

    Torque for rear diff plugs is 36.1 ft-lbs.. FSM specifies to use Three Bond 1105 on the threads, Permatex and 3M make equivalents that are easier to find and cheaper.

    Front diff holds ~1.2 qts 75W-90
    Rear diff holds ~0.8 qts 75W-90

    Ignore my earlier 21mm socket comment, you need an 8mm Hex for your AT drain.
    T70 is for front differential drain.
    13mm Square is for rear diff drain and fill plugs.

    So far so good, was having an issue where the car shut off after it was running for a bit, but after new coils and wires the car ran fine! just drove it an hour 1 way to work.

    I think the problem was the wires, the old ones seemed to not "pop" onto the sparkplugs as nicely and as firmly as the new ones.

    No codes yet!

    If it stays this way, new tires or wheels and tires soon!

    Timing belt scheduled at Orbachs Automotive in Denver PA for the 20th of July!

    150 miles in, no codes, no pending codes, car is running smoother than ever, and at idle it's much quieter than I remember.

    I also added foam to the drivers side door near the mirror and boom all the wind noise is gone!

    How is dependability and market value of these? My girlfriend is going to need a new-used car soon and I would love to pick one of these up for cash

    But from my understanding Subaru's reliability is all over the place

    I was very close to buying a 2007 Legacy Wagon. Beautiful looking car and was going to use it for work commuting. Didn't get it for a few reasons. 1. Head gasket issues scared the shit out of me. 2. Would have ended up modding it. 3. I've been working a lot more from home lately. I still want it.

    I LOVE those wagons! I was looking at those but I bought this one from my friend. It's my DD so I haven't done too much of it, heads were already machined and new OEM gaskets installed, I just had the timing belt, water pump, idlers, and t stat done at the same time. I did the coil, spark plugs, wires, and when my friend owned it alternator and radiator!

    I know what you mean by modding it. I just tinted it out and sprayed the wheels black, i just want it to last another 100k haha
