If it's clean at 30k, you should be fine, but I'd change it at 60k regardless. I'm with mike on the diff fluid intervals. My Miata, at just 30k miles, had what looked like melted chocolate in there when I drained it. It was nasty, clowdy and brown. It was 8 years old, so I'm sure it was age. My Forester wasn't that bad at 60k miles, but it was a lot less than 8 years at the time. Don't wait 8 years, no matter the mileage. |

Replying to: paisan (Aug 08, 2007 7:40 pm) I think my Haynes book, while it did outline the procedure for removing the filter, never indicated that it should be replaced on a regular interval. I changed the fluid in the car several times, but I never replaced the filter. 220K miles, no problems with the transmission.

Hello all - my first posting on this board - from what I've read through in the past everyone seems really helpful... so thanks in advance for any advice you can give. So I'm considering taking a kayaking trip in the Adirondacks and one of the access points requires a fairly substantial stream crossing (outlet from a lake actually). What is the maximum water depth I should consider driving through to avoid damaging the car (engine). The water level fluctuates but it's at least a couple feet deep - maybe around 3 ft. at high water; last year I went through with a friend who had a Honda Element and it made the crossing several times without a problem. Does Subaru actually specify a maximum depth for the car ?

Replying to: tifighter (Aug 12, 2007 12:42 pm) 3ft is highly unlikely though. Where in the Adirondacks are you going? I have a place up there. Also if you do it, get a K&N Filter, I've used them in all my offroad vehicles and they are real good at preventing water/mud intrusion from such crossings. -mike |

Replying to: paisan (Aug 07, 2007 6:50 pm) Oil & filter (which is all I'll provide) Fuel filter Automatic transmission fluid service Change F+R differential fluids Brake fluid flush Air filter Coolant Flush Its amazing how much prices vary between service locations. Joseph Subaru in Florence, KY, charges about $55-60 to install a cabin filter (parts+labor), while Beechmont Subaru in Cincinnati (28 miles away) charges $90! I think I found a good independant guy. He also deals in Nokians. I plan to replace my worn Falkens with the Nokian WR, and not worry about changing tires in winter. Thanks for all you guys' help. Any one ever used the WRs on their Subies? |
