how did you get that yellow hammer to take off those bolts?

Walmart has a the oem Subaru filter now, not made in japan tho its up to par!

This is just scare bait....rtv has never been the culprit of an engine failure and even if the main port gets mostly clogged there are side vents that circumvent the issue....it is right hand turns on track only running sticky tires pulling high sustained g's. I wouldnt bother dropping the pan.

Hello fr do u know if this exhaust is fit for Subaru Forester xt 2016 fa20dit

Tomei exhaust sounds amazing! Quick question, what's the Wheel and Tire Specs on the RPF1?

I just won't buy an 86 or brz until Subaru sorts the rtv matter. Otherwise ima stick to my reliable ef Honda! 😂

I wanna do all these to my bug too! Ol gal needs some love

What did you guys do about exhaust clearance?

why not just get the +35's that enkie already makes...?

I just installed mine and it sounds cool. Totally different than stock. Not loud but just right. It basically went on by itself it was so beautifully made. That’s the truth

a .5 to .75 overfill with oil accusump will largely eliminate the oil pressure issue. even wit R compound tires. No baffle has shown to help .

Is there a method to remove a seized damper? Mine is stuck can’t get it to break loose.

What in seven hells. No just stop, why does the Tomei sound like its dying?

So not for wrx 08-15 😢

Such a good video. I'm getting ready to install mine. I looked on your website and did not see anything for the VB chassis. Am I missing something??

That's my boy krustys Subaru 🐟

Please let me know if 8.5 x18 rims with 45 mm offset work with no mods.

How do you guys know that the re-applied RTV wont cause issues or be simply be re-created when the pan is torqued down and the sealant spreads out?

30 second mark! HAHA! i see what you did there ;)

Upgrading your Forrester Step 1: Sell that POS

love VB content

junk

This Vid+CBD gummies= had me stuck😂

yo this is sick

I’m getting squeaking noise 3 months after installing FA500’s onto my VB, any wonder why it would start to squeak from the front end?

Easiest thing you can do is overfill oil by 0,5 quart, if you have upgraded car (wider tires etc), by 1 quart. Oil pan baffle kit dont resolve problem

I can't wait to race here

I'm building a BRZ now, trying to add some kind of lift. With some rally coilovers and the lift kit, I'm hoping to make it an off road champ. I had totally forgotten about the tire spacers! Definitely adding that to my shopping cart.

Link?

Best video out there on this. Thank you

So hypothetically if I was waiting on the adapter.. but wanted to install my exhaust in the meantime.. it would be best to remove the donut that I want to reuse and just deal with the small leak until the adapter shows up 🤷 😂

I use the black ones from Japan

No evidence on any baffles helping by multiple channels putting their own cars to the test on the track. The problem has to do with oil return rate to the pan when hard cornering to the right with rpms above 5500. Baffles do zero to help. As other commenters are saying, use heavier oil on track days and overfill by .5 to 1 quart. Or corner with higher gear (sub 5k rpm), or slower pace. If you don't track the car, or drive on the streets like a maniac with track tires, you'll never have issues.

An acetone wipe on the sealing surfaces before applying rtv promotes better abdesion. Just fyi

Drivers paddock did an indepth test on these engines and their advice is to just do what wrx drivers have done for the last 20 years, use 5w30-10w40 and overfill it a bit, thats all toyota does for their track 86s too. Baffle wont do a thing for oiling on the FAs, the pickup is at the bottom of a smaller pan, if its somehow not picking up oil then theres sure as hell none anywhere near that baffle lol.

Would a 24 cross trek with a 2.0 suffer from the sealant in the pickup tube? Wife just bought one, and now I’m tripping out. 😵‍💫

how do you know the hubcentric ring size for your wheels, regardless which wheel size you choose?

24 GR here don’t listen to people saying it’s no big deal. In reality it isn’t a big deal aslong you get drop the pan and get it cleaned asap. Peace of mind is well worth the labor

😂 fram ultra is better than all of them , better filtration, by pass valve is to spec and its only $8 Made in USA as well

Is the situation the same with 22+ wrx?

so many enkei but what i want isn’t in stock 😩 haLp

How many miles were on the car when you dropped the pan?

alot of misinformation on this.

Toyota/Subaru would this for Free!!!

gonna do this on my 23BRZ here in Japan soon enough. just gonna get some new 16" rims and some 215/60/16 cross country toyo tyres (could go 70 but then you gotta remove a bunch of the lining)

How’s the ride feel over stock?

Anyone know a place in central Florida that can do this for me? I feel it’s a very specific niche problem and want someone to already know about it

Why did you guys not use a vacuum cleaner to clean the pickup?

Over exaggerating like hell on this broski

NOPE. This is all pure BS internet hysteria. Its people like this that keep spreading false crap and scaring people away from these cars. The RTV was accounted for. Thats why the pre filter screen in the pickup tube has 5 sides on it. The absolute "worst" one documented got peoples panties all on a bunch. When it was actually calculated, it was 4% of the surface area of the screen was blocked. Then consider the screen on the 2nd gen car is 500% the size of that on a 1st gen. Tell me again there is a problem. Take this fear mongering bullshit off the internet. You are making people more stupid.
