Ok - so the gaskets probably fine...

I used the gasket that came with the valve. So far no leaks. I do have crush washers I could add next oil change.

Changed oil again. At 12k+ miles. Added fumoto drain valve.

Thank you. Ordered two of the F108. Second oil change coming up for the legacy and first for the Outback.

When searching for the 2.5i on the fumoto website, it calls for F108. Any reason to look at the F108s? Anyone have an opinion on what we should use for 2019 legacy/Outback?

I bought speakers for a truck about 6 years ago and never used them. Checked and they actually would fit. Still new in box. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_575R169X2/Rockford-Fosgate-R169X2.html Other speakers are Polk Audio DB651 6.5” speakers. I’ll be damned. Upgrade and didn’t even have to spend $$.

Does Subaru give out speaker information without having to dig into the car? The 8" Head Unit is nice....I really don't want to go aftermarket on that. Hope to see you upgrade soon - would like to know how it sounds. Anyone tried to add speakers where the HK upgrade adds?

What speakers did you go with? Did you upgrade speaker wire?

Is there a write up anywhere on what it would take to bring the “sound” up to that which you get with the Harmon Kardon upgrade? I know there are more speakers, but not aware of whether adding those speakers is restricted. And if an amp/sub would be enough to satisfy. I’m not interested in having excessive bass. I don’t want to fill my trunk with speakers. That said, my wife’s Outback is outfitted with the HK upgrade and it sounds considerably better than my Legacy.

Wife has a new 2019 Outback with LED headlights. I noticed over the weekend a lot of folks flashing their brights at me. Apparently these led headlights are bright......or is it possible they came from the factory aimed high? At first I thought, these folks need to suck it up, but by the end of the weekend, I started to wonder if perhaps there’s something that can be done to limit the anger on coming traffic is experiencing because of these headlights. I did a simple search on the tapatalk app and got nothing, but I’m sure this isn’t the first time this has come up?

6000miles/6months is what Subaru recommends I think. Check your owners manual. Oil change for the 2.5 is simple. There are a couple YouTube videos you can watch and complete an oil change without error or issue. Was impressed at how easy it was. Prob spend $ on materials and first oil change, but every oil change after should cost you 1/5 that initial one. And definitely cheaper than a jiffy lube/dealer oil change. Get your tires rotated a few times a year. I drive a lot of highway miles, ymmv - but every other oil change id have the tires rotated. 5-10k miles. Got 90-100k miles on last 2 vehicles before getting the legacy. Not sure how car tires will work out, but the truck tires I’ve bought lasted a long time.

(2) 200+ mile trips down. 5quarts still shows 3/4 filled between holes in the dipstick. Before this I had a truck - took it to 165000 miles without any issues (did do brakes, motor mounts and 2 new sets of tires) - otherwise, I changed the oil every 3-5000 miles. Drive a lot for work - trying to change that here, but we will see if I can resist the expense money. Always took it to a local joint or dealership for a $20-40 dollar oil change. Doing it myself with the Legacy - I'll spend less than I did with the truck.

Changed the oil last night. It was almost too easy. Keep going over whether I forgot something. Thanks for the advice - next oil change I’ll probably look to add that fomoto valve. We will see how my 2hr drive for work goes.

Went with the rhino ramps. They actually arrived yesterday. This fomoto valve. I see the F108 fits our vehicles. Does the longer nipple version benefit us more? Or less?

Wrap it in vinyl....that's an interesting idea. When you say you bought some chrome delete wrap - what is that exactly? Link?

$128 for oil change/tire rotation at my local dealer. F - that. There's plenty of youtube videos...I'll be changing the oil here next week. Few tools (ramps, chocks, filter wrench, oil spill mat, oil pan, oil tank, gloves, wrags) and hopefully I'll be prepared - $25 for oil/filter) I do have a question - does anyone know the best place to buy bulk drain plug gaskets? Wife and I both drive a Subaru (2019 outback and legacy 2.5) I've purchased everything else I need on Amazon, but can't find anything on that damn gasket.

Just read through that thread...sounds like a nightmare. Of course lube does nothing...and it looks like in 5 years they couldn't find a fix. Wife went for the extended warranty on her 2019 OB Limited. I didn't...and hate that I feel regret over it because stupid stuff like this shouldn't be an issue. Got $11k trade in on a paid off truck...prob won't get $11k upside if I traded this in, though I owe less than $14k on it. We will see where I'm at with 36k miles and the warranty goes out.

Any word on what causes the squeak? Anyone work on a 3rd party fix? I owned a 2006 Nissan Titan about 11yrs ago, leaf springs squeaked and a little spray from a wd40 type fixed my issue.

Normal occurrence? My seat squeaks and it’s annoying. I’m a big guy. 6’-4” at 260lb, but not had a vehicle with a nice squeak like this before and have weighed far more than I do currently. If it’s something others have encountered, what did you do to combat or fix the issue?

Digging this car. That said, wish Subaru didn’t implement both black and chrome accents on the Sport. Rather black be where it’s at and the rest match the car color. Now I need to dig into these forums for ideas on how to cover/remove the chrome.

Where can you find replacement emblems?

Where/How did you modify your emblems? Dig it!

I just bought a 2019 Crystal White Pearl Legacy Sport. I have a few things I'd like to do to customize the exterior. One of those things is to see if there are aftermarket emblem replacements. I like the idea of a blacked out emblem on front/rear of vehicle to go with the black sport trim. Does that exist for our generation of the Legacy? Thanks.

Somebody needs to develop a phone mount for folks with Apple Car Play - something mountable, but hiding the cable would be dope!

Just bought a 2019 Legacy Sport (White) - decided on it because I actually liked the look over the 2020. Also the price was right at $23900. Good luck in your decision making.
