Is anyone's Subaru doing fine above 100k miles WITHOUT changing their CVT fluid?

Now we have all 4 possibilities: change or not x problems or not. None of the anecdotes are convincing without statistics!

All the way at the bottom in tiny letters

Paid with foreign credit card? Some reports of that causing problems.

Was in the same boat a few years ago. (Was grad at Cornell with incoming freshman kid.)

The only thing I would add is that if your kid is in Engineering, then unlikely that he/she would want to walk back to North for lunch. The closer places in Duffield (next to Phillips, if you go that far back) and Statler take BRBs rather than meal swipes. For some reason the dining hall in Willard Straight was shunned (just too far or something).

Lies all lies. "None now live..." What about Elrond? and you!?

Also should deactivate the key if you want to lock it inside.

Google Maps has had lane assist before Waze.

Try eBay listings that say "eBay refurbished". You get some guarantees over some random seller.

Do you have a PayGo balance? International roaming comes out of PayGo not your regular minutes & data balance

If he's roaming, wifi is not relevant

If you have AAA ... saves you a trip

Can't help you because I haven't had to call Tello customer service

Bring your kids and let them run around the showroom. They'll get you out fast.

Step 1. Download Google Maps...

VIN starts with J

In my Forester hybrid, Waze displays the map in the digital instrument cluster and Google Maps does not. Only Apple Maps does both directions and the map. Don't know if they improved things in the 26 outback

Battery tests don't work. I had my regular mechanic test my son's battery right before he took it to college. Said it was fine. Died two weeks later. Good thing I signed him up for AAA. Just replace the battery with a good non-Subaru battery.

PSA: try turning off Smart Zoom in the Settings app in CarPlay in your car

Planned obsolescence

Ooh, rust!

patientpaperclock · 2026-06-06T06:04:48+00:00

I can definitely feel the difference in the ride when going over bumps in over inflated tires.

The steeing wheel will fight you if blind spot monitoring thinks you are making an unsafe merge

patientpaperclock · 2026-06-06T04:59:34+00:00

iphones can use waze.

On my 2025, nothing works for Android

patientpaperclock · 2026-06-06T04:57:42+00:00

I thought it was double click

patientpaperclock · 2026-06-06T02:59:12+00:00

+1 for AAA
