Lots of dealers try to sell you the 60K replacement as preventative maintenance.

my '88 and'91 XT6s are both 60K intervals, blew one at 75K the other has supposedly been replaced at 120K about7K miles ago so we'll see.

Didn't know that. The reason why I mentioned it was my 98 Forester (same engine as an 98 OB) has a 105K interval.

He took it up the same dirt road and could not duplicate it. Put it on the lift, and he found part of the heat shield had bent up and had scraped a drive shaft, some paint was worn off. He pryed the shield back down and says there is 1/4 inch clearance now. I think/hope it is fixed, I pick it up in 3 hours
Thanks,

Some of the heat shields have been removed from my car though for that reason.

This is my first post here. I'm upgrading to 17 inch wheels/tires. Subaru recomends 215/45r17.
Will 225/45r17's fit without rubbing?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Have any of you actually gone 100k? What condition was the belt in when removed? Did it look like it was about to fail or was there still a safe margin of life left in it?

PS- I was going to get blizzaks for next winter but smallest size is 225/45r17-thus, my previous question. Can you recommend a decent brand of performance winter tire that comes in the recommended 215/45r17? thanks again.

cams and other metal-metal contact items don't wear in properly with synthetics since they're so slick. after that, go for it.

Only drawback is a possible small hit (say 1-2 mpg) in fuel efficiency.

So, I was wondering if a 40 weight oil would be too heavy for our non-turbo engines.

We have a pretty broad range of temperatures over the course of a year.

So with that in mind, I'm looking to lose 40-50 pounds. I joined a gym last week, and have been there every day since. Already lost a couple of pounds.

BTW, I could not find that Fruit2O stuff I liked, not at Costco. Bummer. No trailer either.

P.S...I'm trying to get down to around 145 lbs.
BTW, this is on topic because I'm doing it to improve the power to weight ratio of my Forester!

We have a 2002 LL Bean with 2600 miles on it. It's my wife's car but she left it with me on Thursday because she didn't have time to get gas. So I filled the tank screwed the cap on nice and tight and drove it a little on Thursday and Friday ~40-50 miles. On Saturday as I pulled out of the driveway the check engine light came on. I double checked the gas cap and drove on. The car drives and performs fine but the check engine light is still on. When I filled the tank I topped it off which my wife never does. Could this be the cause of the check engine light? If so how long before it usually goes out.
I'm going schedule an oil change for Saturday and will have Subaru look at the light then, but I was wondering what everyone else's thoughts were. Should I never top of the tank???
Thanks
Steve
