Heffernan Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Has anyone ever installed these on their 2.5i? Doing some research and it seems like 'F-105' would be the size to fit our cars. I've seen various people use these but never put too much thought into looking at them until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Interesting. We used similar valves on airplanes I worked on in the past, definitely helps keep things clean. I don't see why it wouldn't work.. '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heffernan Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Just wanted to have some user input. I've heard reviews, both good and bad. Some people have these things leak on them and some run them for years without issue... just wanted to hear some feed back from people who use them.

Yes it has been used buy 2.5i and turbo folk alike. I think a few years ago folks were afraid of leakage but those valves have stood up to many tests on many different makes and models. I looked into getting one myself but never pulled the trigger but it has always lingered around my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 This has been a great mod for me so far. Saves time and mess, and a few bucks spent on drain plug gaskets. But in my opinion it has already saved me its cost in time alone. Here is write-up I did on my install. http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4389354&postcount=7 GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonJ 2001 GT Limited Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Several guys in my local club use them. They often question why they didn't buy one sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickB34 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I've got one on my legacy and the wife's outback, easily justified when you are doing your own oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordchilly Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Super easy to use. I trimmed some of the threads down so I can get most of the bottom oil out. Just pull up to a storm drain and flip the switch, then fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogos Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 on both my subarus for 2 years now, no issues what so ever. I am considering magnetic plug though for spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 You can put a magnet on the outside of the oil pan near the drain plug and leave it there all the time. That will hold metal fragments and shavings on the inside of the pan where the magnet is and when you drain it, just remove the magnet before the drain and any debris should get washed right out the drain hole.

CorneliusJones Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 After reading this thread, I was quite interested in installing this on my car...The application page only has two options: f-108 for '10 and newer Subaru models, and f-105 for the "Saabaru." I own an 07 2.5i Legacy, any advice as to which plug to purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kits gt limited Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Get the 105s, it has a small nipple. It comes with a plastic clip that will go over it, then you just need a couple feet of 3/8 id hose to drain into an old 5 quart container. http://www.qwikvalve.com/search.php?mode=search&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
