No tune for me, I love it the way it is
It’s pretty awesome in stock form
100%
Damn skippy
Smart individual
Cmon, I know your a Subaru lover but damn… there are at least 5 cars better for a similar price! Let’s be real
I got the 2023. I love this damn car. It doesn’t like going slow and the harder you drive it, the better it drives. It’s glorious.
Yep!
It is just that. Glorious. I had a 2017 STI. Now a 22VB and I will tell you it’s not missing much. And it DEFINITELY is the better daily.
@@miker.4248is the notorious cold start gone? Ej takes yearrssssss to warm up, I’m about to trade in my stink eye for the new tr 🤞🏾
Watch until you buy the cobb and put the stage1 with all stock parts , u’ll love it more
Just hit 47k on my 22. oil change every 6k with 0w20 from the dealer. Love every mile of it and still runs like new.
Saweet!
47k is still new. At that mileage, you would not know the difference between 15k and 3k oil changes (assuming the shop actually did the changes and used good synthetic oil).
At 66k now! Lmao
@@cjmurray9383still running good? How many miles do you average a month?
Just depends where my job is was doing about 6 k every 6 weeks now down to about 3500 or so a month.
Thanks for the solid information. Good channel! Keep it up.
Thanks!
Thank you for the Video, just picked up a 22 BRZ last week and had a lot of questions.
You bet!
Spot on advice. I’ve had great success with my vehicles both modded and stock doing the exact things you mentioned. This advice translates to almost any car on the market. Take notes people.
Thank you!
Great info. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
You bet. Thanks for the nice commment!
Beautiful car. Just picked up a 2023 Silver WRX. What percentage are your tints?
Congrats! 20 all around
I am from Europe, and will never able to buy one. But I watch the video till the end. Thank you for the tips
Thanks for watching!
I would keep mine stock. I get why people mod them, but this would be my daily and I need it to be reliable. I think its great stock and is the first wrx that was tuned properly from the factory. Great video!
Thanks! I appreciate it
I’m with you, mine is my daily as well. This is my 1st Subaru so I’m not sure about the factory tune but it’s smooth if you shift it properly. I was taught clutching up shifts and floating down shifts and I have 0 issues.
A tune or mod does not necessarily add unreliability. Sometimes things come from the factory not as good as they could be due to regulations and gas mileage. The new Chevy trucks are a example . Motor needs new lifters, cam and piston rings if not pistons .
This is a beautiful car in black. Great tips and congratulations on your purchase of a Subaru!
Thank you!
I am going to keep it stock and enjoy the car. I definitely am cognizant of not schlogging the car in a higher gear but I do catch myself in 5th going 45 on flatland.. (SoCal). Thanks for this video!
You bet!
Love that view beyond your driveway. Spectacular.
All good points. I would expand a bit on your point of letting the car warm up some before driving off- what I do is I wait till the oil temp gauge first shows temp. That's 86 degrees on my car. Also I let the car idle for about 30 seconds before turning the engine off. That way the turbo can spool down some while still getting oil sent to it. This is my first car with a turbo on it and I remember hearing a long time ago this was a good thing to do and it might help your turbo last longer.
I'm running the 0w20 while still under warranty. Maybe when that's gone I'll use 5w30 in the summer months - IDK. I'm changing the oil every six months as I only drive this car less than 5000 miles a year- not my daily driver.
Thank you! Great insights on warm up!
a slow warmup b4 driving off is a great way to extend an engines life...I see youtubers reving cold engines to redline on initial starts, then wondering why the engine burns oil or is just blownup in short order...most people are too impatient to allow a full 5 or more mins after startup.. if u cant wait then drive off keeping the rpms low,2k or less..short shift and dont even think of redlining that thing till not only the coolant temp is up but also the Oil temp!
I've not watched any videos you've done, this is a first for me. I agree with all your statements. For me, these hints apply to most performance cars, especially turbo cars. Great job!
Thanks!
Great video. Currently deciding between a WRX, or an Outback Wilderness 🤙 also, can I ask where this is? Beautiful view!
UT
Excellent video since I new no only to wrx but to Subaru very helpful 😊
Thank you!
I just got mine on Saturday, love it! First shift feels a little to short so think it’s going to need a tune.
Yeah
A tune doesn't affect the size of first gear. That wouldn't fix your complaint.
First gear is very short. I have a 2023. The mid range power is excellent. Seems that first gear is excellent in bad conditions such as snow or ice. Wait until you are in second or third gear to attack! 😊
I’ll looking to buy my first WRX. Currently going through a ton of TH-cam videos. I just want it as a fun daily driver. No tune, no mods. I’m just trying to figure out what the best generation, year, and model (base, premium, etc.) to buy. Great video!
I would get one of the new ones with a warranty and leave it alone.
@@Gonin60 that sounds like a plan. Thanks!
I'm exactly in the same position that you're in like I'm just so curious rn, I'm really leaning towards 1 of the newest 24 automatic cars because I don't wanna spend the time driving a manual 💯
I bought a '22 Limited when it first came out. So took the plunge when there wasn't much info on the car other than blowhards trash talking it for looks. But love the car. Didn't tune it. It's my daily driver. So I'm running stock. Recommendations - change the tires. The dunlops are crap. Maybe get the sports grill and front lip & skirts. Otherwise leave it alone and just do cosmetic mods if that's what you want. But seriously it's a damn fun car to drive as is.
Did you buy it?
Nice video!
For manuals:
Question 1:Let’s say you’re just going for a cruise on mid-speed roads (30-50 mph). What do you feel is the optimal cruising RPM for best gas mileage and engine longevity? For a while I was feeling 2200-2500, but now I’m questioning if closer to 3,000 is better?
Question 2: say you’re cruising, 4th gear or so - and you can tell up ahead you’ll be coming to a stoplight. Do you a) Shift from 4th to neutral and coast to a stop, or b) row down through all the gears?
The lower the rpm the better the gas milage because of the less stress on the engine.
Kicking into neutral will also be better on mpg
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30 is great and widely available. It has a very high burn off resistance, which is great for turbo engines.
Awesome! Thank you for the tip!
I run the same in my wrx. Great stuff!
I have watched a couple of your videos, really good content! Did you see the manual WRX Sport Wagon México is getting? Why not the U.S?? I honestly don’t understand SOA decisions. Very good tips btw. Keep up the great work!
It would be awesome and do well here
@@Gonin60 Yeah I think it definitely would. I’d get one.
thank u for the tips!
You bet
On the oil change piece, I would say every 3k miles is a bit excessive. You should change the oil at 5k-6k miles for sure.
Cool
Oil changes are not strictly based on mileage. Time, temps, road conditions play a big part as well.
If u live in the northeast....every 3k is good 😂😂
@@blessedexpress4476why the northeast?
@truuly it's where i grew up/live
Winter can get cold so I said 3k, over exaggeration of course.
Thanks for the video! Beautiful mountains view by the way! Wanted to ask if you are cruising after acceleration on a flat surface on 4th gear with speeds 30-35 mphs, is it considered engine lugging? The rpms are somewhat 1500-2000 at this point. I don't feel like engine is struggling but after watching your video is worried if I am doing it wrong. Also same about when coming over a speed bump and plug in 2nd gear at around 10mph but giving more throttle (1500-2000 rpm when clutch engages and it goes down to 1200 after fully engaged). Is it engine lugging? Could you weight in on both of those cases please? really appreciate it. I have 2023 wrx and just hit 3k miles after 3 months, performed oil change after 1k, no mods except some exterior changes (spoiler, grill, rock guards, etc). I was thinking replacing IC with the larger Perin, all the pipes and air intake, now not that much
You are okay there. If you were in a taller gear I would say yes. Totally fine on your second gear question.
@@Gonin60 ok great, thanks for your reply! I was a little worried and also after looking at the owner's manual recommended speed to gear ratio. They list 2nd gear at 15 mph, 3 at 25, 4 at 40, 5 at 45, 6 at 50.I guess thats just when you accelerating from stand still. But if you got the momentum already its fine to use lower ones for cruising.
I just purchased a new WR blue GT for my Son should be here in the next couple of days can’t wait to see his face
That’s awesome!
Ur an amazing dad, congratulations man
Hoping to pick up one soon, what other maintenance would be crucial besides oil/ oil filter change?
Fluid wise I’m still learning that too outside of oil. If anyone on here has more experience with Subaru please comment.
@@Gonin60Subaru tech here, thought I would add the factory recommends diff/trans fluid changes every 30-50k miles.
@@ryanwasilewski7742 good advice. Thanks Ryan!
Spark plugs at 60, brake and coolant every 3 or 4 years, can’t remember what the manual says
Honestly, as a Mitsubishi Eclipse owner of every version since it first came out with my last being what I drive now a 2006, GT 6 cylinder which is friggin awesome to drive and more. I just love her because she is so maintenance free. It's so sad that Mitsubishi won't keep this going so...- I have to think about newer vehicle because she won't last forever, although they have all been incredibly reliable with minimum maintenance EVER ........this video was wicked helpful as I venture into the next 6 speed generation of sport cars with manual transmissions and moon roofs!!!!!!!!!.
I wish they still made cars! They were the GOAT
I just bought one and take delivery tomorrow of a 2023 limited for the invoice price of a base model. Much more refined than my 02 bug eye wagon!
Congrats!
Nice looking in black! I will say I had a Legacy Gt with Cobb intake ots tune & full exhaust for 6 years no issues … just check that oil wish I kept it. If I get a new Wrx I’ll do it right and get the proper tune lol, nice tips on these cars they are great.
Thank you!
I just bought a 2023 WRX...i am considering an axle back exhaust. If i do get one, do i have to tune for that? Or does it only require a tune for a catback?
No tune needed for either
@Gonin60 appreciate the input man! Keep up the great and informative content!
@@chaotiic9985 you got it!
I've had a 2016 for 7 years now. 147K kms. Modded and protuned at a conservative 275awhp/275tq. I've never had any issue with it other than some oil burning. Valve seal issues were common on the FA20 I'm not sure about the FA24. I have 0 regrets with my car.
Right on!!!
had a 2018 wrx making 301 hp and 315 tq at t the wheels. it was pro tuned and i drove it about 3 years and about 11k on the mods and tune and no problem. i did run 93 though and i ran 5w 30 and again no issues about 4k between changes.
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful backdrop!!!!
Thank you!!
I went with a GT trim level. I enjoy the different ride modes. Comfort is good for road trips. In sport+ you can tell the engine wants to go. Not changing anything until the warranty runs out, maybe
Enjoy!
PM recommendation on 2022 WRX 6k intervals. I did 2k service as break-in prior to scheduled dealer interval. Great car as daily driver, and will mod after warranty runs out. Bugs on mods should be ironed out by then. Reasonable pricing below MSRP with dealership here in Grapevine, TX. Also, made in Japan.
Right on!
Bill up at 5 star is the best salesman. Just ask for wild Bill.
Have to remember to have it aligned every year too. It's major important on these symmetrical awd systems..
Good advice! TY!
Would using 5w30 void any kind of warranty here in the US?
It’s possible. I would check with your dealer and get it documented
I live in salt lake too and currently own a 2022 WRX. I’m thinking to go for stage 2 Cobb. Is there any professional tuner you know in SlC neighborhood?
That’s awesome. Man I don’t. I’m sure some are around here.
Stock all the way here. Love it
It’s great in stock form!
My hubby bought a brand new 07 STi , still kicking it😂 and that’s the reason why I bought my own 22 limited wrx … so fun to drive
Right on!
I have a 23 brz limit. High compression boxer motor. Excellent in stock form. Only mods I have is gr performance exhaust and ducktail
Great mods!
Thanks for the heads up. I knew I was going to get the oil changed once I hit 1,000 miles, but I thought it was every 5,000 after that.
By the book it is every 5,000 miles
They say don't run a dummy tire on the front if you get a flatI bought a full size tire and steel rim from tire rack for 254 it adds more weight but if you travel it's a must. Great video😮
Good advice. Thank you!
They don’t give you a spare tire. They give you a patch kit.
The first modifications I plan for my newly ordered WRX are IAG AOS, better brakes, and invidia 300 cat back. Might replace some frequent failure points with better components; Im targeting reliability before I go after power. Would you suggest a tune for AOS/brakes/exhaust? It might be a stupid question since im not messing a lot with air flow aside from exhaust, just want to keep the car around for a long time. It's my retirement gift to myself.
No time needed for those imo
I got a 2021 under 8k miles with an STI exhaust and I love it.
Dealer puts 5W in it for sure.
Sweet!
i agree with all points, in your opinion could i get away with a minimal catback exhaust setup without a tune? no intake swap
Oh yeah you for sure could
@@Gonin60 Do you have a solid recommendation for the sothern-california area?
Its my first subaru and very happy with it. Makes 380+whp reliably
Nice
What have you done to it engine wise
@@dimeweld not much an intake, charge pipe, tmic and exhaust tuned on e85
@@doingmorewithless2401 tasteful. It should be safe and last you a while. I decided to keep it stock, just want to get a catch can PVC side and call it a day
And never ever move it on a cold start it will run like crap I use my app and let mine sit 10 mins your giving legit good advice. Listen to him people he is certainly right. Any time I have pulled off in mine on cold start my gears hit high and hard it wears it down after so many times.
Thanks
What about the milk jug delete? Worth doing? Any negative set backs? Better induction noise?
Milk jug delete? I’m assuming this is something with the stock air box? Don’t play with anything airbox related unless you’re getting a tune.
I’m new to Subie , what’s with oil change . What’s a crush washer on the drain plug ?? So I add a new washer every oil change ?
I would watch some videos
@@Gonin60 I use a fresh washer every oil change on my 99 Outback-5 speed.
First subaru and wrx. Ive seen people saying to install oil catch kit. Is that necessary even if I am leaving it stock?
Not necessary but more of a good precaution
@@Gonin60 got it, thanks for the feedback 👍🏽
I’m thinking of getting a regular wrx, any suggestions about a blow off valve installed?
I haven’t put one on but vent to atmosphere aren’t always good for the engine. Recirculating is the way to go. I would do some research about need for tune etc.
dealership
Thinks I’m crazy but I’ve put 3k miles on my vb Wrx and gotten an oil change every 1k.. also regarding the tuning I’ve only installed an awe touring exhaust and have no plans to mod the car
Better safe than sorry!
I would think you’re a little crazy as well. I’m just curious on 2 things. Why so often? Are you planning on changing it every 1,000 miles from here on out?
I have a 2017 wrx with a tune. No issues doing the 6k recommended interval. Have 103k miles on it now. I do baby it compared to most.
Thanks
3 months owner 2023 WRX 6 speed. Plenty snow here in Montana and the car is robust, solid chassis built for this. Engine transmission great match loving the shorter gearing STI exhaust and Soon Perrin intake, Steering Wheel and shifter has to be replaced, feels under par. If you can handle a stiff chassis and loud engine with road noise the car can hustle and get around no problem. Perfect size car and for me it is average economy size. Shifting is smooth and car has so much grip never gets out of control, always sure footed and practical everyday driver. AWD is a plus in offroad and snow. l am 62 love the car but will get me number 2 vehicle, 4x4 truck automatic and touring capabilities, know what l mean?
Yep I get it! Thanks for the comment.
I bought a JB4 tuner for my 22 been sitting on it for almost a year. I want to install it but dont want to void my warranty or blow up my engine!
Cool
My local dealership has about 4 2023 WRXs in stock and Subaru is offering 1.9% for 72 months. I am considering buying one to daily drive.
Dang that interest is awesome
I'm the original owner of a 2002 that currently has 278,000 miles. It's never needed any kind of engine repair and has the original clutch. Awesome car! Obviously, mine is a few generations ago, but I always used 10w-30 synthetic (Mobil 1 95% of the time, and did it myself). It' not modified other than a bigger radiator.
That’s impressive!
If put an axle back exhaust would you need a tune?
No
Great video. I just pickup a 2023 WRX I’m hearing about silicone issues in the motor. Do you know if they fixed this problem for the 2023’s
Congrats! I’m not sure if they have addressed the rtv issue
@@Gonin60 Thank you I appreciate the fast reply and help.
You picked it up and don’t know? 😂
Have a 19 WRX only had it for a year going to enjoy it stock for a few more years then maybe do intake and exhaust shop I use for all my Subaru need's have a great tuner and have been told by many just doing the two mods wont cause issues and use good brands (once tuned correctly) it will still work as a daily. It's when you get people tossing on Ebay/amazon mods and going cheap with garbage tunes that he car's start to fail. Still with all this if you get a new car just enjoy it stock at least till it's paid off.
Enjoy!!
That view is amazing.
Is that Utah?
Thanks. Yes it is
I'm new to manual cars. I've had motorcycles and boring automatics. With the current market, I've narrowed my search to a new BRZ or WRX. I was not aware of the need for more frequent oil changes but it makes sense. I would do cat back exhaust until the warranty runs out then start tuning with some good parts. jb4 tune sounds interesting
Both great cars. Can’t go wrong! I liked the Wrx a little more
Im making the same decision except this is my the epa is killing the manual last new car. But i am torn between the brz and wrx. I think though at 6'4" im probably going to have to go wrx. The brz is a long way down when you weigh 250 and have basketball knees hahha
Ps you will love the connection you get with the car in a manual. Its chalk and cheese
I'm going to get either a 2022 wrx or 2023 - totaled my base model civic earlier this week. How can i decide what color to get if i want every color but red?!?
Well Subaru ships a lot of these. I would see what colors dealerships around you have and go see them in person.
thats true -i was gonna get a 2022 cause it's 5k cheaper and stilll basically new. originally looking for orange but they have none - was going to negotiate a salesmen buying a plane ticket for me and i'll buy a car nationwide and drive it back home (within reason) lol my favorite colors orange - but i second guess it for a car. Do i stay safe and get a metallic gray/silver?
@@Gonin60
A CVT or automatic will let you know. They start at around 1000-1300 RPM, after warm up they will settle in the 500-1000 RPM.
Nice!
3K miles! Preach!! No matter if it's an EJ, EG, or an FA you have to so 3k mile oil changes and always check your oil levek/quality.
Thanks!
Thanks 👍
You bet!
There is no universe in which I'm doing 3000 mile changes. I'll do 5000, and I will likely not keep my vehicle to the point of engine failure anyway.
Cool have fun in your universe
LOL- It takes 10 mins max to do an oil change on a Subie Boxer... add a FUMOTO drain plug and it takes 8.:25
@hankgs wow, that’s amazing. I’m excited to sign up for competitive oil change competitions next year.
I’ll be competing in them, with a fully functional Subaru boxer engine, every 5000 miles
@@sshah2545 I question whether you'll be competing or the guy at the shop will be. If it's because you're financially strapped, you should probably do it yourself lol
@@murmsuniversalrobotics3938 I am not at all financially strapped. I could afford much better vehicles, and choose to be sensible with my choice of car.
And there’s still no universe where, I, in Canada which is arguably the same, or more harsh on vehicles than Utah is, will be doing anymore than 5000 mile changes. Tbh in KM, my interval is more like 4300 miles, but that’s it. When I do do maintenance, I’ll use quality products and service.
My BRZ will survive until 100-150k miles easily, and will still be purring, because I know how to drive and take care of my vehicle. At that point I will sell it and buy a Porsche, and it’s someone else’s problem. And at no point will I have done any more than 5000M changes, with the only exception being the first oil change at about 2000.
Can you put catback exhaust without tuning it?
Yep
Would you really go to any oil thicker than specified in the manual? 0W-20 is thin, but apart from the gas mileage, I'd guess that Subaru's engineers have designed the engine to work with that. I like the idea of heavier oil, but while yes it would protect the parts better in theory, can it get to the parts as fast as the lightweight oil on warm and cold starts? I don't know, but when I get mine it's getting whatever the manual calls for.
Okay put what the manual says
I have an older wrx but have been using Rotella t6 5-40 for years....decades even and it's been fine
I think Subaru is smarter than a TH-camr who just bought one 🤷🏻♂️
A good choice would likely be 0w-40 Mobil 1 Euro.
Now don't panic about the 40 weight, after a 1000 miles the oil is only at the very top of 30 weight metric. DI fuel dilution cause an effect.
Just got a 23’
Shits awesome
Congrats!
If you were to change to a different break pad rotor do you also have to tune anything?
Not that I’m aware of
No
What viscosity oil are you using?
Ow 20 for now but not much longer
Does your car in this video have spacers on the wheels? If so, what size?
No spacers
I think people need to know that if you've been out on a spirited drive, you need to let the engine idle for a few minutes before you shut it off. The turbo needs to be able to cool down or the oil in it will fry.
Good tip
I plan on getting a 2023 wrx I’m 19 can I get your opinion on this car at my age? Like is it reliable and trustworthy?
You can order a car how you like or buy one used with how you like it.
@@Gonin60 .. I know😅. But you think the car is good for the price.?
@@aukin4830 sorry. Yeah I think for what you get for the price it’s a great car. Reliable and trustworthy you have a warranty unless you mod it.
Check insurance first. WRX's are more expensive to insure than a regular sedan. Yes they are reliable, in stock form. Follow the maintenance schedule.
Dude are you a mechanical engineer or tribology expert? You know I trust the engineers on this one (oil weight).
Don’t care
im looking at a 23 WRX Premium.. new to this, my midlife crisis car.. any other advice?
All up to you! Depends what kind of a car you want and wants important to you.
Here’s some advice:
•Change oil at 5k miles or every 6 months
• decide whether you want power or reliability as far as mods, you will not get both so choose wisely
•get 3 pedals
• go new, I wouldn’t trust the average wrx owner to have taken care of their car
Beautiful landscapes. Where you at?
UT
So it’s just like my 05 is300 perfect I change the oil every 3k miles with 5w-30 also letting it warm up before I drive is just a habit of mine anyway
Right on!
Can we still do our own oil changes at home??
If you want. You will pay for the oil yourself
Very good info, but it seems pretty high maintenance for a car with 270hp
Yeah true
Where do you live? The background is BEAUTIFUL.
UT
So why does Perrin say the intake is ok to run without a tune I see so many people running it and have had no issues it does run a little rich around 5rpm
Then run it if you want. I wouldn’t but every brand is different and they are in the business of selling car parts.
U can run a 3inch cat back top mount and some other parts
Nice
When I start mine, I let it run until the idle kicks down. That takes about a minute. Then I drive it like an old lady until it's completely warmed up. I'm not going to let it sit there and idle for 5 or 10 minutes.
Probably better advice here
Great points @Gonin60. I just did the oil change at 1700 miles. The dealer told me I can add intake/cat back and suspension and I wont have issues with warranty. They said NO to a tune. That Subaru is cracking down on tunes and warranty.
Get it in writing lol. I wouldn’t put any intake on it without a tune
Don’t get an intake without a tune ! *boom boom*
Whatever you do, no matter what the dealership says, do NOT get an intake without tuning it. Dear god please don't. You will 100% regret it.
I came here to say this. Get it in writing from the dealership.
@@Gonin60
other than stiffer mounts and bushings and exterior accessories, i plan on leaving mine stock. wrx is my dream car, my 22 is everything i wanted. and the best part about it being ugly? i only have to look at the inside while driving!
Nice
would one have to tune the vehicle if wanting to get another exhaust
No
It depends on the exhaust. If you go with a catback or axleback, then typically no. The back pressure usually stays the same and you are doing it primarily for the sound. If you get a turbo back exhaust and delete the cats, then yes, you will decrease back pressure which then changes the airflow in your engine. You absolutely need a tune for that scenario.
I tint my headlights so that they work more 😉
???
Agree that lugging is bad for the engine, but you say it is also bad for the turbo. Can you please explain that? I don't understand how that is possible.
More so on turbocharged cars you don’t want too.
I think these are good general guides, not only specific to Subaru, but to any turbo cars. I've got a few things, though.
If the new aftermarket intake has the same diameter MAF housing, it should not affect the car negatively. If you're using an AFR gauge, just monitor your AFR during WOT. If it's running lean, like 12:1, then you've got a problem, and you know you should get a tune or revert to stock.
2. You can drive once your car is on, but avoid boost until it's up to temp. Most cars show the coolant temp, but coolant heats up quicker than oil, so coolant at 180F doesn't mean your oil is that hot, and what were trying to achieve is sufficient flow of oil through the turbo. So, avoiding boost will nullify that concern when driving a cold car.
Thanks
Even my v8 grand marquis is running 5w20. With the quality of modern synthetic, you just run the recommended
Okay
What are the wheels and tires on your WRX?
Stock tires and wheels are Aodhan
What exhaust you get i wanna buy one
Remark axle back
What about 0w30 instead of 5w30 i live in a climate with winter ive thought that's best of both worlds idk
If in doubt then do what the manual states
What color is your WRX, black or dark grey?
Magnetite Grey
The factory puts a special additive to the oil and it only comes from the factory. If you change at 1000 you’ll lose that additive forever. I was told to put about 3000-4000 miles before first oil change. I’m in a 23 WRX limited
I haven’t heard this
Not tuned yet…but I plan too very soon✊🏿
Sweet!!
Question-how bad is the carbon build up on the DI boxers?
I don’t know to be honest. If anyone on here knows that then please comment.
Not horrible. I had a ‘16 DIT WRX - gave it the fuel induction service at 30k and it seemed to run better after that, a little.
depends on the fuel driver's style and basic proper maintenance
On my 2016, i had two catch cans. They remained dry. On the ‘22, i am wasting time with catch cans - will get the fuel induction service at 30k miles and that’s it. I change the oil every 4-5 months………the cans do help, but to a certain extent.
Use premium gas aka super unleaded, to help reduce carbon build up.
