Hey- I'm Mark.
My background in a nutshell is Aviation Maintenance as a mechanic on mostly helicopters, and some airplanes. Naturally my whole life i have been fixing, maintaining, modifying, and repairing various things.
I want to start this channel to share with the world in one way or another many of the ways I go about making decisions regarding maintenance, and pursuing life- which is the other half of it. I love being outdoors. You wont find me indoors often, my spirit belongs outside.
With that I hope you join me and subscribe. I intend to work on making fun valuable videos, extending into my life fly fishing, hiking, and exploring places along the way.
Did I mention I love a great cup of coffee?

What Ecodiesel engine failure sounds like? | Eco diesel Knocking | Main Bearing Failure
This is to document my experience. Our Eco-diesel had engine failure (main bearing failure) after 59,000 miles of trouble free, well maintained miles. I tow a trailer from time to time (about 4500 Lbs.) All maintenance done on time or early. Always used factory filters and 5w-40 Rotella as recommended in the owners manual. Never driven hard, never any major problems until the engine very randomly died after a routine highway trip. Once at the dealer, they pulled the oil pan to find bearing material everywhere, which started the warranty process for replacement.

I'm not an expert but with the fill I think you are going way overboard. Good job with the flush and video.
How you attach the insulation, you use glue??
Wouldn't it make sense to replace the pick up screen while in there doing all this work? I've always done that.
Ok i have a question - has anyone tried, or would it even work - tried spraying the pink stuff with some glue then use that extra thick home food foil on it, both sides?, it appears to come wide enough for the wall sheets and now you would have 2 sided foil sheets before putting the wood walls back up? Of course shiny side out… or is this just not going to work at all?
I’m looking at a 2015 outback wagon never had a flush as far as I know when the transmission warms up it has what they call micro slips where it hesitates for a brief second I’m wondering if flushing the transmission would fix
Is that fill plug a 14mm?
Nice music 💯👍🏾
Tip: you can relief the pressure under the hood, driver side. The hose is up there, so it doesn't spill inside the car
Thanks for this video. What is the app you’re using with the OBDII scanner?
If I just do a drain from the pan and fill, how many quarts does a 2014 Subaru Crosstrek XV take to fill back up?
Over engineered
What can we use to monitor the cvt fluid temperature ?
Saving a large amount of $. Do not own and will never purchase a CVT. POS transmission unless they get it right. Good luck with that.
I've never had a lick of issues with CVT I have however had problems with conventional but your opinion is your own😊
Please don't skip ads watching all MT's maintenance instructional videos, fellas. It's the only way we can repay him. God bless, you all. ❤
Have you ever done a coolant flush on your Subaru forester?
Thanks, I was able to replace my 2015 Forester XT wheel hub with help from this video. One thing to mention to anyone else who may be attempting this with only hand tools, you'll need to remove the axle nut before removing the break caliper. Breaking the axle nut can be a real mfer, a buddy pressing the breaks still wasn't enough force to stop the rotor from spinning while breaking the nut loose. My solution was to jam a strong flat head screw driver in the grates of the rotor and spin until the screw driver is pressing against the caliper preventing the rotor from spinning. Then using 3 ft breaker bar with 4 ft steel helper rod for leverage and about a 1/2 can of PB blaster it finally came free.
first of all thank you very much The explanation was perfect with all the little details, thank you!!!!
Why is Chrysler getting away with selling this engine especially after discontinuing it ? What are the rest of the owners supposed to do when theirs craps out ?
my cvt equipped 2017 legacy calls for extra mt gear oil in the front diff. this fluid is unavailable in quantities less than 5 gal. what commercially available gear oil is compatible. Subaru wants $200 for a service comprising essentially just over 1 qt of fluid and 3 o-rings. what a rip!
You should be doing 100's of videos. Never seen anything this good before Thank You!!!
Thank you! I need more time to pump out more content! Hopefully soon!
How did you isolate your screws from ceiling runners with that much foam. Or did you screw direct
The rear differential gear lube change was spot on, thanks! More trouble with the front differential.
Great Video - Thank you! I have watched many other videos on this subject and yours is by far the best. One thing I'm wondering is why some are saying there needs to be a relearn for the transmission after flushing/refilling. Is that really needed? You did not mention it and I suspect you did not perform the relearn.
Superb video. Concise and very well explained . Thank you.
Great video, thank you
the best.subaru forum reccomendedi watch this before i do it saturday..the best.ill have no problem now..thankyou ...gonna do exactly the same way...
Great video and advices! Came across it because my forester 2014 have rough idle and problem during acceleration between 1500 and 2000 rpm, the dealer does not find any problem though. Do you have any extra advice about a problem like this? Thanks
if you cut expanded polystyrene with a razor sharp filet knife always pulling on the cut, it will cut as smooth as the stock edge with no fluffy beads flying all over.
Perfect tutorial. Done the replacement work in less than an hour with the help of this video. Thanks
just did front and rear today..thank you very helpful.only need to remove two bolts on the plastic cover.kinda works like a funnel for the drain plug couldnt have done it without your video however.hadtokeep watching while I did it.just subscribed..
Thank you & great job! Cheers!
That’s a pump sir
Great tutorial.
So glad I watched this as this has been bothering me on my purchase, as the dealer wants $700 plus to do full flush, as I can figure the oil runs about @22 a quart, so after the oil cost that means they are charging like $500 labor, well that's too fuc'n much, so thanks, I've seen several of these trans. service videos and they just drain once and refill, so thanks for going the extra mile to show us how easy it is...Javi G.
Que ingeniero a hecho esto !!! En vez de mejorar a complicado un simple cambio de filtro como antes !!!! Este ingeniero fuera de Subaru !!!
Excellent video! Thank you. I was gonna use the white sheets. They are a pain. I will try the pink stuff this time around.
i like how near and thoughtful u during this process
This is an excellent video! I just went through the disassembly process before I watched this video, and found that I took loose a couple of parts that I didn't need to. Shame on the factory service manual for leading me astray. I was also unable to determine which part was actually the filter until I watched you and your post mortem that you did on the filter. I have it figured out now and have the right part ordered. Thanks for that part number, too.
Good information. Very professional. Tks
When I bought my Torque wrench when I was 78, I thought I would not get to use it for other than my tire rotations and brake jobs. But it looks like I may have to do wheel bearings at sometime, I have 116,000 miles on the sube. The prices for work at the dealers shops is off the wall, And I even got prices from a good local garage for $680 for just the rear set. Thanks to videos like this I may end up making sure I use stainless steel screws in my coffin! Mienike had a game going on with free tire rotation, but then when you went back the next time they said 4 studs were cross threaded and wanted $40 a pop to replace them, said Subaru uses cheap metal studs. So they lost a loyal customer!
bingo

Nice coffee roaster @6:54
Awesome video. It answered all of my questions.
Greetings: A fuse will not protect / prevent polarity reversals. It MAY protect after the incident.
Greetings: Good presentation. Very well done. Electrical / Electronics is 1 of my trades. I have done trailers and boxes, some similar 2 Ur plan. I have plans drawn 4 a trailer a bit larger than Ur's ...when I find it. Thx 4 the share.
Good information. What about a vapor barrier or moisture barrier? Should we be placing anything between the exterior wall of the trailer and the insulation, such as plastic sheeting and also should it be placed between the insulation and the interior wall?
Mine’s starting to knock. Trying to get the glow plug light cleared so I can dump it as a trade-in. Back to gas I guess….
I did a mod and it runs flawlessly now i will never have to worry again thanks to this simple mod a 4.7 engine swap easy peazy ❤
Thanks for the information 👍
