Oh well. I knew what I got into when I bought the Jeep in 09. lol


When I do get on the highway if I dont drive like a d!ickhead, I get about 16 mpg.

Lol I got about 16 in my GTO driving like a dickhead. I'm a showoff to an extent. When I drive I'm 1 with the machine so in my head everybody had to know I owned the road. Respectively of course....

Yea man this Jeep isnt for mileage. Prob is because of the gearing as well.

On the highway at 80mph I am at 3k rpms :x

Damn that thing pushing.... My bro had a 2012 Durango RT had some serious work done to it. It was too much for him though, his family couldn't stand the cam chopping shaking the house while in the garage.

I didn't get a chance to drive it but I know those hemi SUV's are in a league of their own.... Respect.

You can now legally import 89 R32's...
ehh no thanks. I'll wait till the R33 is legal here.   I almost traded my old Evo for one of the legally imported R33s before i got the Evo i have now.  wasn't a GTR though, GTS. So rear wheel drive
 
The dealer wanted to schedule an oil change at 3.5k
I didn't schedule as to me not knowing when I will hit it.

Now that I'm researching and reading on the subbie forums, they recommend an oil change at 1k and then 3k miles intervals. I also want to use Amsoil Signature 5w-30 rather than the subaru oil, so I just can't wait to hit that 1k miles so I can at least rev it to 5k. I won't be doing hard pulls till about 1.5-2k, though, just to be safe.

It's strange, most people swear by Rotella T6 5w-40 for their STI's, but I think it's only necessary if you're going to be driving it really hard/hitting the track a lot.

Anyone have any experience with breaking in a car and changing oil at 1k?

Also, I want to get a magnetic drain plug. Can anyone inform me on the benefits of this?
Dudes are so anal about their cars on there I love it :lol:

I'm usually used to just taking my car to a reputable shop and paying for maintenance/service. I feel like I get to get more personal with my STI and it's :smokin

I'll probably run Rotella T6 if I ever mod my car and begin to track it, though. They say these engines love that oil.
Anyone else in here super anal about engine oil/ oil change intervals?


subaru service will tell u that it doesn't need to be changed every 3k. these days its just a myth, oil companies aren't engineering motor oil to last only 3k, it makes no sense. now there isn't anything wrong with doing it every 3, but 4 wouldn't hurt either.


initial break in oil change sounds about right. here is a website i use for my wrx. www.cars101.com (site specific for subaru)

all info on the STI you could ever want, everything from cost, to specs, to maintenance schedule.

forum boys like to throw in motul oil. idk why. i don't track my car, so i jsut make sure i get the appropriate 5w-30 from autozone. i use subaru filters tho.


i've had trouble getting my magnetic plug to sit tight. it would very slowly drip. i think the crush ring it came with was trash. now that i think about it, i probably should've tried with a new OEM crush ring. for now i use OEM plug with new rings form the dealer.


another note about breaking in. there is some debate about this, and you can go over to naisoc to read up more about it. but i wouldn't stress too much about break in period. i wouldn't red line it until the period is over, but i'd imagine that those engines are tested and redlined before they are dropped into the engine bay, long before they get shipped form japan.

i recall freaking out like i couldn't take it on the highway, but it really isn't that big a deal b.

Instead of a magnetic plug this old dude at autozone recommended i buy some magnets and duct tape them around my filter so all the metal parts stay trapped in the filter
 
Yeah thats what he told me. He told me hes been duct taping magnets on his filters forever.

It was funny dude recommended i get the cheapest filter and do that but just to troll him i bought the most expensive k & n filter they had and told him its expensive because its better :lol:
 
Just get OEM filters b. They are usually cheaper than the most expensive at auto zone or whatever.

@WhatCanISay

Thanks, fam!

I read that a lot of people are using Greddy magnetic plug so I might be giving that a go. Yea, this break-in stuff is kind of stressing me out.

I've tried not to keep a constant speed and basically shift at 2.5-3k and rarely at 4, although I've gone to 5k once or twice on accident. I just want my engine to be immaculate since I plan on keeping my launch edition for quite a while. I'll probably rarely redline it after break-in but may begin at around 1.5-2k miles. Idk I just don't want to mess anything up :lol: some people red line it straight off the lot, let the engine cool and just go at it again for break-in. They say they always do it this way but I don't think I can ever do that no matter how well they say it works :lol:

Thanks again, though, man. :smokin

Any recommendations on filters for my 1k change? I think some people use rx8 filters, but I feel safer with subaru filters. Am I good to go with subaru filters?


if u that worried b, we can always trade...my 12 wrx hatch is still a 4.x sec car and gets da yambs. ill take that STI launch edition off u if u don't want it :evil:



nah but on the real, i got 25k on my car and i have NEVER redlined it before, idk y.

as for oil filters, they aren't expensive at all at subaru. go to your service dept and buy like 5.

remember the car was engineered around OEM parts (this is true for any part). the subaru oil filter is a good filter (im sure there are better ones i guess) OEM will get teh job done no problem. and get some crush rings just in case. if u need to go back and use OEM plug, you'll have some OEM rings for it. PM me if u got questions b!

the 15 STI will be my next car (might go limited and get used gold BBS online).


o yea hows the short shifter? at stock, the throws aren't really long so i was wondering if a short throw would make it weird? (evo x throws are DUMB long lol)

Had to take my Impreza in to the dealer yesterday and my local dealer had 3 2015 WRXs on the lot for sale, was damn tempted to try and negotiate a trade in and buy a new one. Still love the functionality of the hatch though, but the new ones are really growing on me.
 
yeah, they kinda look rice and overkill :lol: Take any more pics recently? I just love the look of that car.
