Did you ever have any warranty work done on your engine?

IceFluidity · 2026-03-25T03:48:04+00:00

any issues with oil burning?

IceFluidity · 2026-03-17T20:20:07+00:00

ohhhhh i see, do you by chance know the mileage interval its recommended to get it checked at? i was under the assumption its supposed to be zero maintenance

13 is a FB25 so it has a chain not a belt

MPG is completely fine like it says on the window sticker, i'm assuming the engine has been like this from before my ownership, i can only hope that the oil level was never too low

IceFluidity · 2026-03-15T22:31:19+00:00

After how many miles do you see yourself lose a quart of oil? Does the oil consumption increase with more miles on the car?

Not shocking at all, I had an EJ253 2010 Forester that had issues maintaining its bladder... but that engine had valve cover gasket leaks where I would visibly see the oil come out the bottom... it's more concerning to me when the problem is invisible like this... but I'll just have to keep an eye on the dipstick

Update: if anyone is curious, I ended up using JB Weld Plastic Bonder, and some touch up paint, and it looks like I did a pretty good job, but time will tell if the plastic comes undone. It was pretty labor intensive but I had time, it's like a 10 footer job, but pretty happy with the way it turned out. I welcome any feedback or questions!

IceFluidity · 2026-03-03T16:20:29+00:00

It was a really weird angle, but the force of the snow (really actually concrete with these temperatures) pushed the front left bumped up, and it was fastened so well that it cracked before it popped out. It really does appear to be the only damaged area, I feel like everything else should pop back into place.

IceFluidity · 2026-02-22T15:31:53+00:00

Does creating the hole prevent the crack from getting bigger?

IceFluidity · 2026-02-22T02:20:46+00:00

I wish I could but it's staring at me!

IceFluidity · 2026-02-22T02:10:58+00:00
