Alignment advice

you want the best alignment? Subaru dealer... they do enough of them so they can dial t right into perfect provided parts are not worn/damaged -
FreeSSM with 2011 and higher models
YeuEmMaiMai replied to shi_daniel's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
BtSSM does not work with OBDlink (any of them) I have tried on revision 2/2 with both R3 and R4 firmware on my galaxy S8. No go on android 8 or 9 installation. -
I had the same issue with my 2014 at 65K Miles, I called SOA and due to the service history on said car (it was extensive) they picked up 750 out of 850... no more leaks after front timing cover reseal. there are no less than 16 separate places for the timing cover to leak on the mating surfaces of the engine block and head. This does not include any covers on said timing cover. drive your car up on ramps, spray everything down with brake clean and then drive around a few days and reinspect. you will see it seeping from the timing chain cover. Also you can remove the heads without pulling the engine, although the job might be easier/faster if you did.

2020 Legacy XT, buy again?
YeuEmMaiMai replied to caddygti16v's topic in Seventh Generation Legacy (2020 - )
drove the Ascent and when you get on the beans (all 4 of them) it is not well composed at all... I am much happier with the 3.6R E5AT combo -

New here - 3.6r recommendations
YeuEmMaiMai replied to Addictedxu's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
first thing I would do is drive the car up on some ramps and check the oil to water cooler piping. on my 2010 3.6R it is all rusted away and I am going to have to replace it here when it warms up. Subaru in their infinite wisdom ran this pipe right along the front of the engine where it is exposed to salt and other stuff... PCV replace it and the hose if you have not done plugs, do them change your PS fluid change your differential fluid drain and fill transmission again it was due at 60K miles -
Air conditioning blowing “cool” air
YeuEmMaiMai replied to ZFergy87's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
start with the simple stuff by putting some pressure gauges on it and see what the charge level is. -

Switch to 5w30 in the 2.5L?
YeuEmMaiMai replied to Condor1970's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
stick your car in -20F temps with no block heater and tell me that. the 0-20 synthetic will absolutely make it easier to start the car.. and flows much better in the cold... -

ended up using Valvoline Max life and a tube of Dr. Tranny shudder fix. now at 143k..transmission does not have as much torque converter shudder under light throttle...fluid was pretty dark the first time I changed it. it was much better after the second change...still might have to put a new one in...tq converter that is... doing one more drain and fill.

Battery ? Parasitic draw ?
YeuEmMaiMai replied to Howard264's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
let me resurrect this from the dead I live somewhere that routinely reaches -30F and the stock battery on my 2014 Legacy started the car with no issues on a day it was -32F... we had a whole month here were the temps were -20F or colder and the car started every single time even though it was outside. The battery when working as spec'd will start the car under pretty cold conditions. I replaced my battery after 5 years because they are not known to live much past that
