98LGTLover Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 rshaw123, as long as it works it is fine. My dad and I are going to be swapping some engines pretty soon. I was hoping for this week but he just bought a 2010 SLP575 Camaro so all of the plans for that have been put on hold until him and my mom go to New York and come back with the car. I'm getting really tired of waiting and waiting for something to get done on the cars.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98LGTLover Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 It sucks when you just have to sit there are think about what could be getting done to the car while it is in your yard. Luckily both of the cars I need are in two different areas so I don't sit and think about it. The '95 that I have sat for 2 1/2 years and finally about 2 weeks ago I got a key made for it and started it up and drove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rshaw123 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 nice, unfortunately this is my only Subaru left at the moment. I have a 2002 Hyundai that is almost fixed but I'm selling that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rand Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I just bought my Legacy on Sunday. 211,000 miles for $2,300. And today it is going to get a axle replaced already, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

987687 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 It seems like I'm changing my oil all the time... I've been thinking about switching to synthetic to bring my OCI up to around 6000 miles. Would be a lot nicer. Synthetic shouldn't be bad for it... And if it is I can get another engine for about $150 and replace it myself in a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I run full synthetic oil, pennzoil platinum, and my motor loves it. Still only go 3-4k per oil change, about every 3 months. -Subikid90Â 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I drive 3000 miles in a month or 2 lately... It's getting better, but over last winter I was doing an oil change ever month... I thought the deal with synthetic was it didn't degrade as fast and therefor you could run a longer OCI.

98LGTLover Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 I just use regular oil and I get my oil changed every month and half. I drive roughly 2,000 miles a month now. rshaw123, I hope you get your Subaru fixed up soon! There is an Outback that popped up on craigslist here in Sandpoint and it has 214,000 for $2,400. I'm half tempted to go look at it even though I probably wouldn't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 That's a lot for that many miles! What's the deal with synthetic if I can't change my oil every 6k or so? that would be so much more convenient... Also, isn't synthetic better for a care that's just sitting not being used? Because my Legacy isn't going much this winter, it has bald tires and I have my lifted GL now for winter use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98LGTLover Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Yeah I wouldn't even give the guy 2 grand for that car.. In his ad he says it runs but needs about $800 worth of work for it to be in tip top shape. Who is going to pay $2,400 for a car with 214,000 miles then turn around and have to put $800 into it. You can buy a lower mileage car for $3,200. I've never used sythetics. My dad works at a car dealership so I just say I need an oil change and I get them for free. We always use regular oil in everything. My mom's Yukon XL has 191k on it and it is fine. Edited September 22, 2010 by 98LGTLover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Free oil changes would be nice .... Lucky. I've gotta crawl under my car with a wrench, bucket, and new filter when I need an oil change. It really sucks in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Same here. Would should be fine going 5k on a synthetic oil change but for some reason I get to 4k and feel like im hurting my car so I change the oil lol. My dad makes fun of me all the time for it. makes me feel good inside tho -Subikid90Â 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the car should be done this weekend. I have found a few nice Subarus around where I live but because I am in college, I really didn't have the cash for them at that moment.

98LGTLover Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Yeah, my Subaru that I have right now is really great. Never gives me issues which is good because I commute 100 miles round trip two days a week. But the headgaskets still haven't gone yet so that is the only thing I have to worry about.

987687 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 My 96 does awesome! It takes a beating and keeps on running just fine!! haha. I don't abuse it... But I definitely drive it for all it's worth from time to time, drifting corners, etc. I have a long hilly dirt driveway I like to drift. But I also do thousands of mile road trips with it and it does perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98LGTLover Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 The one I'm fixing is a '96. I just bought the car to fix it and sell it. I needed something that I could do quick so I can get some money in my savings account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
