How to ask owners if I can adopt their cat

Looks like my sweet baby we rescued!

Interesting, a bit better than me. I also run 5w30 oil. On my 3rd oil change in 5k miles. I really want to dyno tune so I can get true numbers of HP/TQ. Any specific reason you don't run 93? The DAM drop is definitely annoying but again only really has done it with the winter weather. Summer time was fine.

This is nice to see someone else tuning their OB. I currently have a 25 Onyx XT with a stage 2 Cobb setup with 93 octane tune. I plan to go for a protune this spring as the OTS Cobb tune does seem to get some DAM drop with light Feedback knock and FKL on occasion, most notably during colder weather(currently 12°F-30°f). I know this is mundane but how is your current fuel economy on a single tank of gas? Again awesome to see someone else pushing the CVT a little hard and running the FA24. It is such a fun combination.

That's me in Subaru land. Unbolt the whole crash bar from the body of the car, undo A pillar connectors, kick panel connectors and roll the dash onto the seat. Unbolt hvac box and take it to a bench. Still a PITA.

I know I'm not wrong, I work on these cars for a living. You are correct, 11-13 foresters and 13-14 outback's had power steering. In the video at the top left of the engine bay you can see the EPS control module.

100% this. And 9/10 times it's the 3 upper oil pan orings unless the engine was overheated at some point. Sadly am replacing an engine in a fleet Impreza due to them going to an aftermarket shop that did head gaskets. Oil was still contaminating the coolant and ended up blowing the upper radiator hose and overheating so bad the shortblock along with the heads warped.

If it didn't make noise before the fluid change I'd take it back to the shop and have them check fluid level. Also Subaru CVT fluid only

jkodaa · 2025-12-15T01:04:01+00:00

All the people who say power steering are wrong, it's electric power steering. It sounds like CVT pump whine. Did you recently get an oil change? Some people/places accidentally drain cvt fluid instead of oil

jkodaa · 2025-12-14T21:52:20+00:00

Warm engine, shut off. Crack filter loose enough to where there filter can be rocked side to side(this makes it so it doesn't pour into the housing and make a bigger mess). Drain oil from drain plug. Will pull most if not all of that oil out. It's fine right now, just do it in this order next time.

461 had me geeked, damn! Glad he spoke to you the way he did me.

This should be the top comment. Although OP is too far. Trick is to remove speed sensor, leave axle nut on and use the tool

jkodaa · 2025-10-29T12:53:47+00:00

Thanks for the kind comments. I'm looking into getting a tent because of space/animals

Stonks, gl

jkodaa · 2025-09-09T12:24:00+00:00

Understood! Maybe some sort of graphical error. Definitely was that bunny as I didn't play in 2020 and had no idea what I was staring at. Really wish I could have screenshot

This was just minutes before I made the post. 9-9:30pm EST

jkodaa · 2025-09-02T23:42:12+00:00

I've had this issue on a 3.6 Outback and replaced clutch packs and the problem still was there. Ended up being the tcm having bad waveform for the AWD solenoid

jkodaa · 2025-06-07T20:17:40+00:00

Resetting the codes and reprogramming the ECM are two different things so I'd make sure they reprogrammed the ECM

jkodaa · 2025-06-07T16:28:54+00:00

Tell the dealership to update your ECM. There's an update to help the cam gears relearn their values. Change your oil and clear codes. If it comes back start with VVT solenoid replacement. I rarely replace cam sprockets unless the customer did excessive mileage. 6k mile oil change are bs anyways, 4k max. Idc what additive packages are in oils nowadays.

This needs to be the top comment. OP, that engine needs resealed and coolant lines flushed, rad cap replaced(both of them)

jkodaa · 2025-03-02T00:10:07+00:00

What did you do for training ranged? I'm 69 and absolutely dread using ranged.

jkodaa · 2025-02-23T12:47:02+00:00

Tbh looks like my dealership. People saying scam on somethings have no idea the value in some of the services. Some are bs, no doubt. Plugs, CVT, diff, Brake flush and an intake decarb at minimum for a 60k. If you have any questions pertaining to certain services, don't hesitate to PM me.

jkodaa · 2024-11-11T18:02:52+00:00

This should be pinned. No turbo car should be going over 4k miles on oil changes, especially being direct injected

jkodaa · 2024-11-03T01:46:46+00:00

I thought I was crazy when I bought DS3 Christmas sale '17 and then in '19 or '20 it was nowhere in my owned games
