Replying to: acleme2 (Aug 17, 2007 7:03 am) My Forester has experienced all of the above issues, and a few more. Despite these problems, all of which have since been repaired, I really love my car, and would probably buy a new Forester again. Best of luck with yours. Len

Replying to: leo2633 (Aug 17, 2007 4:40 pm) As for the jumping in 1st gear, it's common that 1st gear really can't be used on a subaru while moving. You can use it to start out but you can't go back into 1st until stopped. Smoke is probably from the valve cover gasket leak. -mike |

Replying to: paisan (Aug 12, 2007 5:01 am) Finally got new air, fuel and oil filters and the fluids changed (transmission, diffs, brake, coolant, oil). Since the Falkens were worn down to the wear-bars, I finally got the Nokian WRs for $136 each (balanced, mounted, alligned, tire-disposal, free lifetime balancing & rotations). After those Falkens came off, it was like driving a new car.... where was all that road noise? These Nokians are quiet... The car rides smooth. Now I'll sell my Blizzaks, and save the yearly switching expenses. The total for all but the tires was about $365, taxes included. I only provided the oil & filter. By the way, should I always stay with 5W30? I hear people with higher milage going to 10W30. That's not what the manual states. I plan to stay with Mobil 1, and aim to run this car into the ground. If the change is advised, at what milage can this change take place? BB PS: 4-Blizzaks WS50 215/60/16 for sale!

Tire replacement time... I'm thinking of replacing the stock Geolandars (blech) to some 225/55s on the stock 16" wheels on my XT (2006). Anyone know if there's enough wheel well clearance to do this safely? Also, anyone have any opinions on the Conti Extreme Contact? Tirerack seems to like them. Thanks, Chuck

Replying to: paisan (Aug 24, 2007 5:42 pm) Maybe, as the engine ages, I'll try the Redline/Amsoil. I plan to change filters every 3.5K miles, and change oil every 7K. |

Replying to: cgrocho47 (Aug 27, 2007 11:23 am) Other than Nokians, there are the Michelin Exaltos and Bridgestone Potenza G009s to choose from. Hope this helps.

Subaru Forester.org has a thread re rumor 09 that may have pics of the new 09. It is from a Japanese magazine...
