  1. thanks! I actually welded up all of those paint can and caulk wall holders.
  2. called Subaru. no updates. the recall line isn't owned by Subaru. farmed out and handles all recall phone traffic for most majors. so pointless calling them. for those who have an acting up car it's amazing the dealership has no info neither does Subaru. what I was too is the Subaru dealership won't buy the car bc they can't sell it with an open recall. Subaru wants you to keep making payments vs them having an unsellable car. last Subaru I will own. been loyal since 1990.
  3. total horse crap. call SOA and they say no remedy. another reason not to buy a Subaru.
  4. Valvoline 5w-30 conventional in my 08... 100k miles and 14 years later just did a leak down test and all cylinders perfect and within 3 percent. based on that and owner's manual... 0w-20 Valvoline. wife's turbo Mazda is 5w30 while non turbo is 0w20. wish Subaru would put 5w30 in their turbo cars.
  5. That is factually untrue according to my last oil analysis from blackstone labratories who if you dont know about them they do millions of oil analyses. I was actually happy to see on my last UOA they said don't go by date.
  6. interested in seeing the outcome of this
  7. Just curious as to hear what you guys are doing when you have low mileage and you are told you have to service by "whichever comes first." mysubar.com, subaru, and the car all like to remind me the 24m/24,000 mile service is due for example. i have 5500 miles on my car. i work from home. hell i dont think most people during the pandemic drove 12K a year anyways. subaru says ever 6 months you MUST change the oil (or you will be shot). Dealer says "don't go by that no one cares" and doesn't know what a 24 month service entails despite giving a print out from subaru.
  8. Why do i have to remote start my car you ask? to give it enough time so: 1. the navigation becomes responsive and i can disable collision avoidance (class action currently against it bc it sucks so bad) 2. for the engine to idle down so when i go from R to D the CVT doesn't make chirp so loud my neighbors hear it. btw, dealer says this is normal.
  9. Wondering if anyone can shed some light on this. i have the ability to remote start via starlink. it's super slow imo. Wondering what exactly is required to get remote start via existing key fob. Does anyone have that? in the manual and online there is a procedure to use the current key fob to remote start. doesn't work. Then there is this part which is a whole new key fob dedicated only for remote start. https://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_2020_Legacy-24L-CVT-4WD-Limited/Remote-Engine-Starter---Push-Start/97174878/H001SAN001.html Two things: 1. I don't want a second huge ass key fob 2. Since the car can already be remote started by starlink, why would additional hardware have to be installed by a dealer to do the exact same thing starlink does? Doesn't matter starlink operates on ATT and key fob is RF. Both go to a computer and the computer triggers an action. I don't want an uneducated dealer to try and sell me some aftermarket junk that isn't really required when there is some software bit that simply needs to be switched.
  10. https://www.carscoops.com/2022/02/subaru-dealers-told-to-refrain-from-marking-up-new-models-in-response-to-customer-complaints/amp/ and just like that Subaru issues a warning to its dealers not to mark up above MSRP. I would report that deal and ask for my money back.
  11. report the dealer to SOA for that market upcharge. many manufacturers have sent out letters forbidding dealers to pull that crap otherwise they will reduce their allocations. i would never ever buy from a dealership who puts BS charges like that on me. sorry you chose a volatile business. not my problem. i dont need anything that bad in life i can't wait or go to another dealer.
