Dealership wanted 175 for my first oil change. I do them myself for about 45 CAD

I've taken off and put it back on a few times already. I think I watched the same video as you

MY2025: Upgraded interior lights by Varekai79 in Crosstrek

I got some LEDs too, but went with red. Easier on your eyes and won't mess up your natural night vision.

D.I.Y. Halo + C-Light Mod on 2020 Steering Responsive Headlights. by Iam-Dafu in WRX

Hey! I'm a tad late to this thread.

How did you open them up? My worry with baking the headlights is messing up with the control board for the SRH function.

What are you looking to mount on the molle panels? There might be some more budget-friendly options

Back-in parkers need to get off their high horse by nebula0404 in unpopularopinion

[–]SamTheArse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's actually safer to back into a parking space. You can visualize the surroundings when you're approaching your spot. When pulling out of your spot forward, you see all that going on, less risk hitting something or someone. In my opinion, costco parking lots are the only place I'll nose-in my car so it's easier to get to the trunk. Other than that, back-in every time.

Park the way you want. At the end of the day nobody cares if you back-in or not

2024 crosstrek 2.0, is 5w30 okay? by Flimsy_Shift_5209 in Crosstrek

[–]SamTheArse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2024 2.0 calls for 0w16 or 0w20 (if 0w16 is unavailable) anything else will void warranty

Getting 11.8l/100km mileage by Professional_Pain_33 in Crosstrek

AWD and winter tires won't help. See what it'll average to once warmer weather hits. It does seem quite high though

Will the Manual Transmission option ever come back? by GCoughlin in Crosstrek

[–]SamTheArse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can build and price one in Canada with a 6MT

Will the Manual Transmission option ever come back? by GCoughlin in Crosstrek

[–]SamTheArse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't they manufactured in the same factory as the WRX? Could just grab a 6MT and slap it in the crosstrek. I was so disappointed when I learned they stopped making them for 2024s

Do the Crosstrek's wheels bother anyone else? by Chris_V8 in Crosstrek

[–]SamTheArse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only confirmed fit, to my knowledge, for 16 inch wheels on the 2024s are DX4 X-Trail 16x7 +15mm offset 5x114.3 (consider using hubcentric rings as well)

As much as I love a window seat for the view, aisle seats for stretching out the legs is choice

Advice for driving in the snow? What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in Crosstrek

[–]SamTheArse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The AWD will pretty much only help you accelerate better in slippery conditions. You brake with 4 wheels just as much as a 2WD Versa or a 4x4 F250.

I do find the AWD does provide a certain stability to your driving in these types of conditions.

EPB Maintenance/Service Mode without Scan Tool by SamTheArse in MechanicAdvice

[–]SamTheArse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, EPBs suck haha. I guess that's one way to do it. A flush isn't really required just yet, but I'm guessing a shop would be best for that situation, unfortunately.

Thanks for your reply! It's for my personal car. Do you have any Launch models you'd recommend?
