  1. thanks dealership told me i have a head gasket leaking also, which i know is uncommon in the 3.6's i haven't checked it myself, but wanted to get a scope first.
  2. evidently i have a bunch of leaks upper oil pan, both valve cover gaskets, and the timing cover how difficult are they to do with the engine in the car?
  3. i've got different sets of winter and summer tires / wheels, but it appears my winter tires have 2009 TPMS in the wheels. instead of going to the dealership every 6 months when i swap tires, and instead of putting all new TPMS in, is there anyway i can recode the car when i swap the tires so my light goes away?
  4. wow, sharp man i've got a 3.6 r wagon, and am just starting to look into lowering it
  5. i usually go to https://www.superbrightleds.com/ they've got a good breakdown
  6. aside from vacation pictures, is there a good walk through for removal and reinstallation of a 5eat from a 2009 outback / legacy? i've searched with no luck. please/ thanks
  7. I bought a 2009 Outback in Wisconsin that now seems the transmission is going out. I've run a carfax and that history indicates it was taken to Cochran Subaru in Butler, PA. So I called that dealership's service department and simply asked what they could tell me about service history on the vehicle. I've done this countless times on Subaru's, Fords, Harley Davidson's, and etc. without ever once a concern. The service adviser said he couldn't share any information about the car's history (i don't care about previous owners, i only want to know if they recommended xyz service or if part abc was going out). I asked for a manager and he told me no one is available. I'm not looking to crucify anyone, but this seems sketchy to me. Does PA have weird vehicle privacy laws? any thoughts?
  8. i've been seeing some conflicting information. i plan to upgrade the head unit on my 2009 Outback in a couple of weeks. Some places say i need something like a AWSC and some seem to indicate i can wire directly into the new Pioneer double din head unit. How do i find out what's accurate, aside from wiring it up and finding out if it works or not?
  9. i was talking with my local parts guy a while back, he made a comment he has to keep a stock on hand because they go out so often i've done wheel bearings on all 5 Subaru's I've owned, except for the one i bought last week :-) i agree with timken, or moog as my personal preference depends if you live where there's rust. the last two i did, passenger side was easy but the driver side was a pain! i had to remove the hub assembly, knucke, lateral link, axle shaft, and upper control arm then disassembly everything using either a vice and BFH or a bearing press use never seize when you reassemble, even on mating surfaces
  10. i've read there are some shenanigans with oil types, some are rebranded. honestly i'd prefer to just use the OEM subaru atf-hp
