Falcor Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Finally got around to buying a replacement drivers side door mirror. I crunched it against the garage door opening a few months ago. Going to swap the painted cap since it was not damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcor Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I need to do the same. What did it cost? This is what I bought. Originally it was $62.88, but I had a $15 Amazon coupon. Interesting, it comes with two caps, one smooth and one matte finish. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RVJ6JSN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Also, I gave in and bought a red shift knob. I had some money burning a hole in my PayPal pocket . In my defense, the original knob was getting worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to replace both side for symmetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 The funny thing is I mashed the foldable one, but not the one on the 2010 Outback I had previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 You know you can pull the plastics apart on the knob and make it any color you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 You know you can pull the plastics apart on the knob and make it any color you want I do, but for $12 I don't have to. I figured after I buy the paint and spend the time, it would be cheaper to go this route. Also, instant gratification since it will be here Monday.

ripstik Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 You know you can pull the plastics apart on the knob and make it any color you want i may have to do this, the plastic piece is starting to peel off on mine anyway. i always kinda wanted to get a raceng or some other weighted knob, but after seeing David Higgins using a stocker i decided it was silly.

Scubaboo Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 ^Oooh facelift stuff! Are the side skirts significantly different pre and post-facelift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Same for all. I got them in the deal and since they're my color it was a no brainier. I've scuffed one so if it becomes to much of an eyesore I'll change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewdogg Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Trying this guy out for my oil filters now. Looks like a bigger volume than most I have seen so far and seems like the filter material is nicer too. I will cut them open and see, I have some older crappy ones I will cut at the same time and do a little comparing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaboo Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 ^there is a big comparison thread of filters that work for Subaru, with pictures. I'm not sure where I saw that at the moment though. One thing to check on oil filters as well is bypass valve opening pressure. Subaru filters open at higher pressure, matched to the higher pressure their oil sytems run in general. Opinions vary on how important that is in the grand scheme of things but I want the oil to pass through the element as much as possible so I went back to the OE Tokyo Roki black filters.

YeuEmMaiMai Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 changed out the power steering fluid. had to use my brake bleeder since the orifice for the reservoir was not large enough for the turkey baster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeuEmMaiMai Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 ^lol but it is true, you will need a small diameter hose to fit into the opening on the overflow/reservoir tank. The plus side is that you can since the hose is small enough on the brake bleeder empty the tank and get most of it from the suction line as well. This means it will take less fluid overall to get most of the old crap out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a rag under hose when disconnecting it and have a container ready to drain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
