GEE-OTTO Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 the engine in my 2009 legacy is blown. i found a 2008 engine from a legacy. will it fit in my car? Yes as long as it is a EJ253(Non Turbo Engine) the 08 will plug and play with your car. Have you figured out the cause? If it is Oil starvation then you are right by getting a new engine as they wont replace that under warranty. Once you get the new engine it will be as simple as pulling the blown engine and swapping over the accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidWombat Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I would argue with the dealer and/or SOA about an oil starvation failure (providing the car has had regular oil changes). It really shouldn't have been burning more than 1 qt between oil changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaMax Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Right there with you buddy my 05 gave out and locked up on me with just over 95k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggerheist Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 mine too, spun rod bearing. SOA says it was because of my DP i say they are full of shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finja Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Just had something similar happen to me this month. Read: Commute Catastrohe in the pictures forum. Should've posted here, but.. noob mistake. Anyway, after the dealer tore it apart to see what was wrong, I shot an email to SOA. The customer service rep I got worked directly with the district service manager and my dealership to hook me up. Ended going 50/50 on damn near a total rebuild for me. Might be worth sending a feeler mail out to SOA customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 If you can't prove regular oil changes and you have a oil starved blown engine you better pray the oil pump went bad or some other manufacturing related issue is the cause. The dealer will not give you slack on the engine. I fought with my dealer for two months over a bad TOB at 12K miles on the clock. I hope you can get it fixed under warranty.

Kodax Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I believe the turbo GT eats oil. My 3.0R doesn't eat oil at all and I check my oil cleanness regularly. I am quite surprise to see a 2.5i blowing an engine. I thought the N/A engines in these Subaru are bulletproof. Apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 my buckaru uses zero oil and neither does my 2.5i Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laz Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I think it has to do with the 2.5i missing the oil heater that we do not burn oil: . . . . . . http://store.ncrally.com/catalog/images/vf40%20001.jpg --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgt_nube Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 There must be variation between cars. I've never had to add oil to mine. I change it twice per 7500 miles. Check oil frequently! These cars eat oil. More than any car I've owned. And I'm not alone. A few photos of the LGT My current ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
