    Holy fcking shit man, thank you for the google sheet breakdown! I cannot express how helpful this is!
    This makes me more confident with my 2019 outback 3.6r that I picked up this year. I also do my DIY servicing as the dealership costs 3-4 times more. So far, I only replaced oil, filters, inner tie rods, one tire(punctured by a large nail), and perhaps replaced all the interior lights into LED ones. No issues so far, probably gonna change the CVT fluid and serpentine belt, and diff oil at 65k, Im at 40k miles now. Cheers to more years of outback ownership!

    My 2015 had the same problem with the wheel bearings. Had to change 3 of them just outside the warranty period. Batteries also don't seem to last long either, it's on it's 3rd one. Otherwise, the car has been wonderful. It's only got 80k on it, so looks like I'll be driving it for a looong time. Great review, thanks!

    I'd be happy to hit 300K on my 2010 Outback. Currently at 258K with the torque converter giving a bit of trouble. Getting the dreaded stall when stopping quickly due to faulty converters installed for a couple of years. I guess I should be happy the converter went this far.

    Can you share with us in a little more details the intervals you had to replace certain things like PCV valve, coolant liquid etc, how often did you change oil and filters. That's a lot of miles you put on this car. You must have done something right servicing it or you spent most of them on highways.

    • @nappyjim
      @nappyjim  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Engine oil/filter: 5k. Differential oil, spark plugs, brake fluid, 60k. Coolant 130k then 75k thereafter. CVT I did DIY "flushes" at 202k and 344k. Doing it again, I would just do drain and fills maybe every 75k. Tires, brake pads, etc were done on a need-to-do basis.

    • @machineabart

      @@nappyjim Thank you kindly. Looks like changing oil every 5K miles paid off. In Europe Subaru set oil change int. at 15,000 km which is 9400 miles. I do it every 5-6K miles just to make sure all is good. My car has only 43K miles on it but already 5 years so I decided to change coolant as I do not believe in those 10 years intervals they tell us. In general you made a lot of miles but you also took care of the car. Congratulations. 6 cylinder boxer wouldn't go that far. Thanks again for sharing this information.

      @nappyjim  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Plugs 60k. Differntial 60k. CVT fluid I did at 202k and 344k but I did more of a DIY flush then just a drain and fill of the pan (which replaces less than half of oil). But going forward on my Forester I think I am going to do CVT more often BUT I will just do drain and fills because its easier.

    @bohdanked หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Impressive! I have the exact same model, the same color, just the rims are a bit different. But it's only 100k. Had rear passenger wheel bearing and front passenger CV Axle go out at around 90K. My brother with a similar 2015 Outback with 140K replaced 3 wheel bearings already. On both of our Outbacks since year 2 the rear gate motor assembly is making clicking sounds when operating, but still works. We have to add about 5 oz of coolant every year. I also have some weird slow leak of some thin black oily substance on top of the crossover pipe under the intake manifold, can't figure out what it is. Suspecting EGR .

      Change is always good. Yeah, I never got the CVT backlash. Maybe its just because I am doing highway and not city? But CVT still running good. In fact, my first CVT oil flush at 200k, I sent in the oil for analysis and they were surprised about how good the oil still looked for how many miles were on it.

      @@bwmitchell100 really wish it was that simple man. $800 for an engine. Now I need to do the work myself, never have before. Need to do it in-between working. I travel for work.

Now what happens if/when trans starts going out? Am I gonna drop 8k on that just not give up?
      Gotta know when to throw in the towel. And FYI, guy that bought it is a mechanic. It took him FOUR WEEKS to get a new engine in and running after the first engine he bought arrived with a piece of the trans stuck in it. He literally just sent me a video starting it up yesterday. There's no guarantee something doesn't go wrong this morning when he takes it out for a drive
