I would look into obtaining 2015+ WRX Limited headlights for the projectors. They are LED low beam projectors and are self leveling as well. Might be worthy of dissection although they are rather small projectors. 2" maybe?? I can get you pics when I pick up my car late next week.

hahaha. yeah right. I can grab pretty much anything that is too hot for others but it's the backside of my hands that the heat hits. That is a sensitive area for all of us. I can grab the headlights, that doesn't burn me, but the butyl can because it sticks to you like glue and traps in the heat. I wear nitrile gloves and then rubber palmed gardening gloves over top of them. Keeps good insulation.

puke... OP: I put my headlights about 15ft away but directly in front of my 155kBTU Salamander for about 5-8min and then rotated them and then again for another 5-8min. I was able to work on them while they stayed heated. I kept a sweatshirt and gloves on so to not burn my arms or hands. This has worked very well for me over the years. yes i was sweating my arse off but it's brief. Hope that helps others.

My APPS covers both http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc86/rfoker/Subi/20150915_190040_zpspli8gx3d.jpg~original and I was thinking of my wife's being grayed out while she's driving. ..and that's a generic 8" tablet screen protector I have used since Day-1. Also, the Open sofware for my unit is Fujitsu-ten http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc86/rfoker/Subi/20150915_190150_zpshojugkka.jpg~original

I think you are misunderstanding me. You are comparing the Base trim radio and Nav unit I was not. Premium trim comes with the exact same radio unit that Limited w/Nav does. The only thing missing is this: SD Software On my unit, I can see Navigation options, they are just grayed out. http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc86/rfoker/RadioComp_zpsc6usu5d3.jpg~original

The OEM Nav I thought is merely a separate box that can plug into our existing radio's. I don't think it's integrated like the other Subaru models with the Clarion units. This would mean we can buy the Nav box, and plug it in. I had an Avic that I installed hacked software to remove crappy features, speed up boot time and allow other various features. It was still deathly slow on boot up and when navigating around. It is still the best aftermarket unit because of its abilities.

There's a little blue light that shines from above(behind the sunglass holder) that is meant to lightly illuminate cupholders. This is optional for base and I believe standard for Premium trims.

YUP! Same here. Super easy to know that when your coming up on 30k or 45k an oil change is needed. Plus, it's easy to know when your last oil change was for oil adding/checking. If I happen to go over by 1kmi, well, the next oil change will only have 4kmi on it to reset my schedule. I think we are all getting off track tho from original post.

Even going 10k, I would at least change the filter halfway through.

If they determined that it could have helped the situation then yes, not for pay out but for retaining you as a customer They would basically drop you and back charge you for the savings they gave you for that safety feature. You could call them up and state you no longer have DRL if you are really worried about it. It's probably a difference of $6/mo or something. I disabled mine. Don't really care either way. I've diabled all of my prior GM model ABS brakes because they were overly sensitive for my aggressive behavior but never got into a major accident for them to verify. You would have to get into a fatal or near fatal accident for them to check for that type of stuff.

Exactly! I always read both sides, it's a must. I believe the discrepancies are caused by a meniscus effect due to surface tension. Also, I check my oil in the same spot all the time, so even if it's not perfectly level I have good recordable data to review where as measuring in different areas or places can skew readings. Where I park my car is where the oil gets changed and level gets checked. I know that's not possible for most people so best bet is to go to a shopping center parking lot and park where you think a cart cannot roll when left untouched. Concrete pads are usually nice and level too. I just added 1/2qt after 2700miles into my oil change.

I thought you already had a bar installed?? I must be thinking of someone else. 19mm is huge improvement. Wait until you start hitting the corners. Much tighter.

Shipping vs tax(6% in MA?). It's a wash depending how much you paid. Our Vendor sells the 19mm Swaybar kits for $98 and they offer $4.95 shipping if order is over $99, so throw in some Subaru floor mat style coasters for $5 and you'll actually save. Otherwise shipping is $13.20 Total for above: $108.60 shipped;) Regardless. It's always good to support your local community whenever possible!

I disagree. Mods are for the most part fair here. Warning generally comes after to not allow it to happen again. I would say that this thread is fine granted there are no intentionally sponsored materials by non vendors. You would essentially be sponsoring yourself rather than the forum which is not fair. Stating that you bought something from a random shop and you installed and like is fine, but doing a complete advertisement to draw people in to a Company that does not support this forum(non vendor) is a totally different story. I'm not debating the specifics on what happened, just stating the general practice. I've seen it several times where a company will provide either free or heavily discounted product(s) to a member for a forum product review in hopes that it will draw in customers. They do this to avoid forum vendor fees. I would hope that everyone would support and understand this and that it's not fair to Vendors who are actively supporting the forum that you are a member of. I've done product sponsored review threads, but only to forum sponsors! Maybe PM an Admin and ask for a special request with a small donation from the company next time. Who knows...

I just changed my wife's oil in her 2015 Forester 2.5i. Her low oil light illuminated on her way home from work. Oil level was between add and edge of dipstick after sitting for 2hrs. I'm estimating 1.25qts low. Assuming low to full is 1qt. Include your cylinders(if not in your signature/profile): 4cyl 2.5i Odometer: 10,400 miles driven between: 5,000 Quarts added: 1.25 driving style (easy, moderate, aggressive): Easy / All highway Full engine operating temp (sometimes, usually, almost always): Almost Always
