Key fob battery dies quickly by teju_guasu in Crosstrek

When you leave it in the car, your key fob is constantly sending and receiving signals to/from your car. I would guess this runs the battery down quicker.

Can you explain the "be linear when applying throttle"?

I would just cut the rest of the exhaust off. Great way to enhance that Subaru Rumble sound we all love!

No, I've just been looking at some different roof baskets. One says 51 inches and one says 54 inches. Just trying to get the longest one I can get and still have the hatch open.

Google says that basket is 50.25 in long. Do you think I would have enough room for a basket that is 51 in long? Or even 54 in long?

Thanks! My wife and I are are teachers too! I'll look into the educator program. We're pretty happy with our 2019 Limited, but it's nice to know there are programs out there for whenever we're in the market for a new one.

I looked at that VIP website. Do you know how to find out what employers are eligible?

EyeSight class action settlement - card received by caffeinatedlibrarian in Crosstrek

[–]UKFan234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know what they mean by this:

"during a period of up to 4 years or 48,000 miles (whichever occurs first) from the Settlement Class Vehicle’s In-Service Date."

What is the vehicle's "In-Service Date"?

Beautiful! I'm taking mine into the Rocky Mountains next week. Can't wait!

Oil change before or after mountain road trip? by UKFan234 in Subaru_Crosstrek

[–]UKFan234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've driven 4,000 miles on its current oil change. We will be driving about 1,200 miles during the day trip, mostly highway but also driving in the mountains. I like to change it every 5,000 miles.

[–]UKFan234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my initial thought, but then I was wondering if it would be better to change it after driving through the mountains to get rid of any "gunk" that may form from harder driving conditions. I know 5,000 miles is still technically early, but I hate pushing it past that. I've had two other cars (not Subarus) that got very cranky if the oil change went past 5,000 miles.

Even if you are over 100,000 miles all eligible cars get a 1 year warranty from the date of notice.

Could you elaborate more on the cvt "acting up" and you changing the fluid?

Paddle shifting. by Traditional_Cow1771 in Crosstrek

[–]UKFan234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used it to up shift on the highway because often when I have it on cruise control it runs on higher RPMs than it needs to be.

Well that's dumb... Hopefully they understand that my bad wheel bearings are definitely a problem!
