AwdSon Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hello Legacy Family, I am pleased to announce I am the new owner of a 2010 Legacy GT!

Zee199969 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Welcome to the forum! It looks like you already have an aftermarket grill, lip, and special appearance headlights on, possibly even lowered? What are you plans for the car?

jackal8788 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Oh boy.... I just need wheels now Yeah, that's kind of how it went for me too. 'I just need (X) and I'll be set'. Like so many first-year algebra students discover, finding out what 'X' is can be challenging VF54 to 20G to VF54 to 18G build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dujo Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Wheels will definitely take this car up a notch. 5th gen doesn't look right until it's lowered and has great wheels. Good luck with wheel search. Check out a bunch of the wheel pics to be found all over the 5th gen forum to get an idea of what you want. Welcome to LGT.com. Enjoy!

AwdSon Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 If any body can help me with a couple things I would be greatly appreciated, or ad some links. 1. Maintenance schedules. about to hit 60k 2. Recommended oil and oil filter, I have always used Rotella T6 in my other subys. 2B. How much oil? 3. Green coolant recommended like my others? 4. Do I need to dyno tune with Turbo back, or is the Accessport safe enough? Gracias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarang Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 1. http://www.cars101.com/subaru/subaru_maintenance1.html 2 I like the Mazda RX8 filter since it has greater volume, but the oem filter seems good too. I use Mobil 1 4.2 Liters (more with the Mazda filter) 3 Yes, that's what I do. 4 Dyno would change the whole feel of the car. I hit 293whp/380wtq recently and my car spools up way faster than with the cobb map. That said, I understand that the cobb map is very safe.

Dujo Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 1. Check out the owners manual or the Subaru of America website for the exact maintenance schedule. Most major required maintenance item that should not be missed: timing belt at 105,000 miles. 2. The Rotella is commonly used in the LGTs as well. Safe bet there. I use AMSOil. Don't use Mobil 1. Something about not enough zinc to protect the turbo. And I think it's 5 qts total (including what you pour into the filter initially), but somebody correct me if I'm wrong. OEM blue filters are actually great. Lots of folks like the RX8 filter too. Solid filter as well. 3. Should be fine. 4. Define need. Accessport with a Cobb off the shelf probably won't blow up your motor, but an off the shelf will never be as good as a tune specifically made for your car. Especially a dyno tune. However, even an etune will be better than the Cobb ots map and an etune won't break the bank either. And we have some great etune vendors floating around here on LGT.com. BrenTuning, Cryo, Tuning Alliance all come to mind. Also could look into Infamous Performance and Tuning which is out in Cali with you (Note that really old threads referencing Infamous tunes is a different tuner with a long story behind it, but Mike's new tuner from the past few years is great too.). I love my dyno tune from BrenTuning. Do a bit of your own research here on the forum and see which sounds like they might be for you. All those I mentioned are gonna be solid. Good luck.

FLlegacy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 1. Normal fluids, oil, trans fluid, diffs, some like to do the spark plugs at this point, I believe there was some mention of the in-tank fuel filter. 2. I use rotella with no issues and since my initial fillup of it no burning either, for filter stock is most common although nothing wrong with wix either. Many buy the subie ones in bulk from amazon or other retailers. 2b. 4.2 quarts like all other subies I usually put closer to 5 because it will take a little to fill the oil filter. 3. Super blue coolant, it shouldn't need servicing until 105k miles, but if it has been changed with anything but the blue you are back to 2yr/24k miles service intervals. 4. Dyno tune is never required but a custom tune will help the smoothness of the power immensely. Yes the AP tune is safe enough to run without issue albeit a little less efficient.
