No you must have premium or limited model. Mine is basic so only comes with buckets. Anyway whatever makes you happy. I know you are limited. You probably can't locate your country on the map and have never seen other civilization outside of your village judging by how well you know how to find this seats for your farm's shithouse. You had to drive 156 miles to the nearest McDonald's to get free WIFI to be able to post here. How you know about amazon online shopping confuses me.

I do not have scope, I am still looking for one (they are expensive). I did check diodes when alternator was cold never remembered to check when alternator gets hot. I did have clamp amp meter and amperage was jumping +/-3 Amps with same load at idle. Scope would show that much better. Checked for AC mV on battery posts with idle but of course DVOM is too slow to show any abnormal spikes.

alternator was charging normally. This once happened to me on GM car. I had p300. Everything was normal, replaced sparkplugs, no vacuum leaks, replaced ignition coils, replaced injectors and just gave up. I drove the car with slight misfire for a long time. One day alternator failed it was not charging. I put in the new alternator (Duralest Gold from AZ) and engine worked so smooth I could not believe. Since then I learned alternators can cause ghost misfires that most technicians will overlook.

Thank you Sir for taking your time to do this for us, every information is valuable we need more post like this.

Hi all I am just posting my experience hope it will help somebody some day. When I had engine shaking problem due to the alternator I was getting misfire on cylinder #4 small count every driving cycle but not enough to illuminate check engine light for P0304. So if you have a good scanner that can read live cylinder misfires or scanner capable of reading mode 6 and if you see misfire on cylinder 4 and you checked sparkplugs, coils and vacuum leaks it could be your alternator causing this. I hope this will help somebody some day. Note this is on 2.5 l engine.

24 responses regarding oil change OMG. It is one bolt.

Do it yourself, if you fail the next time you will do it better it is the only way to learn or all your life you will depend on others to fix. PM me if you need step by step directions. Unfortunately this forum is all about what wheels someone put on.... even people hardly can change their own oil. If somebody offers some help they try to put him down with unnecessary comments. Remember you bought your car, the car did not buy you... if you f up something it is not the end of the world. In life you can buy anything except mother. Everything else can be replaced.

LOL, if you watch carefully you will see that he shifted into "R" for racing

I do not want to be always a bad guy. Many things for you are hard to understand which is understandable. There is a lot of things I would tell you right now but I will be nice and keep it to myself. Oh remember your comment that the throttle plate on our Subaru can freeze at 90F outside with engine running at 212F LOL. Thus why you do not understand simple analogy with the bucket of water. Anyway, guys that experience this, trust me, I had this problem. I replaced ATF II, cleaned oil pan and magnet. To avoid this negative comments of people that never dropped the trans oil pan - PM me for more details.

Hi all, If you have this the best way to describe is feeling like you are sitting on the bucket of water when stopping and the water is splashing under your seat and you feel that water movement then: Your CVT transmission filter is clogged, your cvt pan needs to be cleaned, magnets cleaned and add additional magnets on the bottom of the cvt oil pan (on the outside) your will love your cvt again. I hope this will help somebody who is loosing hopes. Remember opening your cvt oil pan will void cvt warranty. But if you are like me and take actions no matter at what cost than try it.

that is gray connector b147 = rear washer motor 100% connector b44 is for horn LH and that is right above the b147 connector so leave it hanging reference: WI-468 and WI-469 from OEM repair manual or pages 7318 and 7319 from pdf I do not know if outbacks have rear wiper, so they are probably using same wiring for outbacks and legacies, just wild guess Pm me for info where to send me 6 pack

Hi all, can you please check your crankshaft balancers at idle in park, do you notice any wobble? mine has slight wobble you can tell by slight belt movement. No accidents no one touched the balancer. Why would it wobble? I did not pay attention in the beginning, wonder if it was Friday engine assembly day in Japan. No wobbling at first startup when rpm is higher than normal when at normal operating temperature. Once the rpm goes down to 800-700 rpm you can see slight wobble.

fog lights, even if you do not have fog lights (base model) wiring is still there ambient temperature sensor could be another possibility, maybe you can check the reading on your dash

Drain CVT oil, remove the cvt oil pan, clean pan and magnet, remove the filter and wash it from the side where the O ring is, then blow with compressed air from the same direction. Put new CVT F-II . Buy 7 quarts, you will need 6.5quarts with filter removal. Then you will come here and thank me I had the same problem and did this myself. You will love your car again. THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY ON CVT. But as you can see dealerships are either unable to repair it because they do not know what to do, or they are just playing dumb, and at the end we are stuck with bad performing vehicles. Note: there are two filters in our TR 580 cvt, you do not need to buy new because the one in the oil pan is serviceable (washable). Do not buy the paper inline filter because you will need to disassemble trans to get to it. So make sure the oil pan, magnet and filter are spotless. If you need more details pm me.

This is one of the reasons I learned to do everything by myself on the car. Imagine how things get left loose on suspension and you think everything is nice and tight in a 90mph curve. How many bolts get stripped and you do not even know.
