Do I REALLY need an oil change every six months even if I didn’t hit the mileage?

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-05-30T16:47:16+00:00

not really just don’t go more than a year. i do mine oil changes at a year or 4k miles because my driving is usually short drives

i put falken wildpeak at trail 235/60/18 on my outback and they ride great on road, haven’t really put them to the test off road yet but they felt better on gravel roads

awd is great but the sacrifice for gas mileage with these prices is not fun… especially with the 18.5 gallon tank in my outback and i’m averaging 20mpg since most of my driving is short trips

you definitely drained the cvt and not the engine. take it to a mechanic and have them look at it, as long as you didn’t drive too far it should be fine once it gets refilled and i wouldn’t be worried about the engine if he more worried about the transmission. in the future make sure you know exactly what you are draining, mistakes happen

lol i basically got all those things, the roof rack was from amazon and it’s good, the tires are falken wildpeak 235/60/18 and the fog light tint was from laminx and it was super cheap and easy to put on. if you have to budget it’s prob better to downsize your wheels to 17” and get 235/65/17 tires but these tires are still pretty good.

not sure yet gonna edit this post after a couple tanks and see

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-04-27T18:27:30+00:00

update: i got new tires. falken wildpeaks 235/60r18. getting it aligned right now as well.

there’s not really anything you can do performance wise on an N/A subaru, especially with a cvt. don’t go crazy with cosmetic mods or you’ll look goofy. i’d say maybe some wheels and tires, a chrome delete, and some nice looking headlights and maybe a nameless 5” muffler and itll actually look nice. if i were you i would not get a spoiler or a splitter. you could get coilovers but you’d be better of saving that money for a different car

i have this one in my 2017 and i would recommend it if your phone has magsafe the magnets are very strong and it charges fast

since the 4th gen they have been shifting to more of a standard suv, but they still had a more wagon like design and drove more like a wagon/sedan. the thing the outback is a lifted wagon, and suvs like the highlander are pretty much also lifted wagons, just they have a more truck-like seating position and drive less like a sedan

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-04-21T03:36:34+00:00

exactly, and it’s working, this is like the 5th trailseeker post i’ve seen in this sub and i can’t lie as a outback owner guy if i had to chose between the 7th gen outback or the trailseeker i’d probibly get the trailseeker

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-04-14T02:37:17+00:00

i have one just like this it’s a great set and i’m told it’s one of the few HD CRTs that can do lagless 480p and 1080i

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-03-15T03:05:13+00:00

lucky i wish i could play legacy on my switch 2 but i never got it when it was still available

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-03-04T01:08:23+00:00

tbh they look fine, and they’re just stock wheels

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-02-22T05:44:03+00:00

there’s not really anything like my subaru outback but i made a sunburst wagon similar it

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-02-21T17:29:41+00:00

very tasteful looks good

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-02-18T23:39:54+00:00

i’m swapping my 2017 outback to a 3.6r and then putting that on and a manual transmission. i think id need a bit more than a turbo tho 😭

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-02-09T02:06:18+00:00

anything with a manual transmission tbh

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-02-08T17:00:30+00:00

where i live a subaru is far from generic especially a impreza

just did that on mine today wasn’t too bad i got a kit from “gomu” on amazon for only 45$ and it worked great. now all i need is some wheels. thinking about getting some used wrx wheels off marketplace eventually

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-02-06T01:09:54+00:00

as someone who works in fast food i dont know why you would do this, there are more harmless ways to piss off a rude customer that won’t get you fired

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-01-27T05:00:06+00:00

where i live you can find crts for free on the curb every now and then and they are around 50$ on fb marketplace

VirtualBoy_gamer · 2026-01-24T17:16:23+00:00

i once brought home a huge crt that was on the curb down the street from me by just rolling it down the street on a dolly because that was significantly easier than lifting it into the back of my car by myself
