I bought a '22 Limited when it first came out. So took the plunge when there wasn't much info on the car other than blowhards trash talking it for looks. But love the car. Didn't tune it. It's my daily driver. So I'm running stock. Recommendations - change the tires. The dunlops are crap. Maybe get the sports grill and front lip & skirts. Otherwise leave it alone and just do cosmetic mods if that's what you want. But seriously it's a damn fun car to drive as is.

A tune or mod does not necessarily add unreliability. Sometimes things come from the factory not as good as they could be due to regulations and gas mileage. The new Chevy trucks are a example . Motor needs new lifters, cam and piston rings if not pistons .

Love that view beyond your driveway. Spectacular. All good points. I would expand a bit on your point of letting the car warm up some before driving off- what I do is I wait till the oil temp gauge first shows temp. That's 86 degrees on my car. Also I let the car idle for about 30 seconds before turning the engine off. That way the turbo can spool down some while still getting oil sent to it. This is my first car with a turbo on it and I remember hearing a long time ago this was a good thing to do and it might help your turbo last longer. I'm running the 0w20 while still under warranty. Maybe when that's gone I'll use 5w30 in the summer months - IDK. I'm changing the oil every six months as I only drive this car less than 5000 miles a year- not my daily driver.

a slow warmup b4 driving off is a great way to extend an engines life...I see youtubers reving cold engines to redline on initial starts, then wondering why the engine burns oil or is just blownup in short order...most people are too impatient to allow a full 5 or more mins after startup.. if u cant wait then drive off keeping the rpms low,2k or less..short shift and dont even think of redlining that thing till not only the coolant temp is up but also the Oil temp!

Nice video! For manuals: Question 1:Let’s say you’re just going for a cruise on mid-speed roads (30-50 mph). What do you feel is the optimal cruising RPM for best gas mileage and engine longevity? For a while I was feeling 2200-2500, but now I’m questioning if closer to 3,000 is better? Question 2: say you’re cruising, 4th gear or so - and you can tell up ahead you’ll be coming to a stoplight. Do you a) Shift from 4th to neutral and coast to a stop, or b) row down through all the gears?
@Gonin60
@Gonin60 6 месяцев назад
The lower the rpm the better the gas milage because of the less stress on the engine. Kicking into neutral will also be better on mpg

@@murmsuniversalrobotics3938 I am not at all financially strapped. I could afford much better vehicles, and choose to be sensible with my choice of car. And there’s still no universe where, I, in Canada which is arguably the same, or more harsh on vehicles than Utah is, will be doing anymore than 5000 mile changes. Tbh in KM, my interval is more like 4300 miles, but that’s it. When I do do maintenance, I’ll use quality products and service. My BRZ will survive until 100-150k miles easily, and will still be purring, because I know how to drive and take care of my vehicle. At that point I will sell it and buy a Porsche, and it’s someone else’s problem. And at no point will I have done any more than 5000M changes, with the only exception being the first oil change at about 2000.

I think people need to know that if you've been out on a spirited drive, you need to let the engine idle for a few minutes before you shut it off. The turbo needs to be able to cool down or the oil in it will fry.

@LaheyJ And Subarus are direct injection only. So your intake valves are going to get carboned up and have to be either manually cleaned or chemically cleaned. Most manufacturers do throttle body and direct cylinder injection which keeps the intake valves clean. So far I sort of regret buying a turbocharged vehicle. I didn't know they would be so many dues and don'ts with them. Fun to drive though

Engine transmission great match loving the shorter gearing STI exhaust and Soon Perrin intake, Steering Wheel and shifter has to be replaced, feels under par. If you can handle a stiff chassis and loud engine with road noise the car can hustle and get around no problem. Perfect size car and for me it is average economy size. Shifting is smooth and car has so much grip never gets out of control, always sure footed and practical everyday driver. AWD is a plus in offroad and snow. l am 62 love the car but will get me number 2 vehicle, 4x4 truck automatic and touring capabilities, know what l mean?

Would you really go to any oil thicker than specified in the manual? 0W-20 is thin, but apart from the gas mileage, I'd guess that Subaru's engineers have designed the engine to work with that. I like the idea of heavier oil, but while yes it would protect the parts better in theory, can it get to the parts as fast as the lightweight oil on warm and cold starts? I don't know, but when I get mine it's getting whatever the manual calls for.

In the Japanese manual (where the car is actually made) Subaru states to use 5w30. My dealer actually doesn't even stock 0w20. I live in a hot area on the South East and 0w20 is too light. After being in the game since the 90s and knowing/talking to engine builders I'm changing my oil at 3500 miles. Long oil change intervals are the result of the stringent EPA. The inside baseball on their view is they don't want your internal combustion engine to last that long.

I think these are good general guides, not only specific to Subaru, but to any turbo cars. I've got a few things, though. If the new aftermarket intake has the same diameter MAF housing, it should not affect the car negatively. If you're using an AFR gauge, just monitor your AFR during WOT. If it's running lean, like 12:1, then you've got a problem, and you know you should get a tune or revert to stock. 2. You can drive once your car is on, but avoid boost until it's up to temp. Most cars show the coolant temp, but coolant heats up quicker than oil, so coolant at 180F doesn't mean your oil is that hot, and what were trying to achieve is sufficient flow of oil through the turbo. So, avoiding boost will nullify that concern when driving a cold car.

Directly pasted from the owners manual... *If 0W-20 synthetic oil is not available, 5W-30 conventional oil may be used if replenish- ment is needed but should be changed to 0W-20 synthetic oil at the next oil change.* So rule of thumb.... Do what the manual says, otherwise you risk a warranty denial.

@billsanter
@billsanter Год назад
There are other reasons besides gas mileage and emissions to use 0w20. Modern engines have closer tolerances and heavier weight oil may not reach all the right places. Lighter weight oil also transfers heat better. Changing the oil every 3000 miles is overkill. If you use synthetic oil 5000 miles is fine. Also, warming up your engine before you drive may do more harm than good. Better to just drive gently until it warms up.

Thanks for the video! Beautiful mountains view by the way! Wanted to ask if you are cruising after acceleration on a flat surface on 4th gear with speeds 30-35 mphs, is it considered engine lugging? The rpms are somewhat 1500-2000 at this point. I don't feel like engine is struggling but after watching your video is worried if I am doing it wrong. Also same about when coming over a speed bump and plug in 2nd gear at around 10mph but giving more throttle (1500-2000 rpm when clutch engages and it goes down to 1200 after fully engaged). Is it engine lugging? Could you weight in on both of those cases please? really appreciate it. I have 2023 wrx and just hit 3k miles after 3 months, performed oil change after 1k, no mods except some exterior changes (spoiler, grill, rock guards, etc).

It depends on the exhaust. If you go with a catback or axleback, then typically no. The back pressure usually stays the same and you are doing it primarily for the sound. If you get a turbo back exhaust and delete the cats, then yes, you will decrease back pressure which then changes the airflow in your engine. You absolutely need a tune for that scenario.
