Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 02, 2009 5:07 pm) I Have to agree with Mr.Shriftright for about 99%. I always hold out hope that there will be something that comes along to make an engine last almost forever. Part of my wish came along with Syn oils,better filters/filter systems, and maybe someday a pour in can of "forever engine life" zero wear for 80 years!!!    Most of us know the additives,for all intent will not get you much and if they did then why use oil,Put in one can STP,Prolong,Z-Max, Teflon junk?,one can of whatever Wal-Mart has on the Red tag close out,and just a touch of Marvel mystery oil,Weld her shut and Drive anyway you want,it just won't wear out or break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Always research,get the facts,then look for double blind tests,and when you find them,see what Governmental agency recommends them and you just might have something there! Good luck Guys with additives, Mike C

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 26, 2009 7:12 am) '09 XT's have had random bearing failure anywhere from 1-2K to 13K miles. There was one recall early in the '09 model year, then various reports on Subaru forums.   Seemed prudent to check the oil at least once just to be sure.

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Sep 27, 2009 9:54 pm) arg...that sounds bad. I guess if it's random bearing failure then checking the oil won't much matter---usually bearing failure is an oil starvation issue--like a plugged oil galley. I suppose a new engine could burn up all its oil, but one would think the driver would notice those clouds of blue smoke. But maybe not.
