@scottykilmer so the fluid was never even changed? My 2019 Sub is @40k & I was starting to think about changing it even though the dealer insists "LIFETIME" & I would VOID my warranty if I do. So? What to do? HELP me Scotty!
We need to get back to basics(manual transmission)
3 subies - automatics - sold all after 200,000 miles and never had an issue. Guess we were lucky.
Not lucky. You obviously maintained your vehicles, and they provided great service as a result. I didn't do as well with a vaunted Toyota Camry!!!!
@@eskieman3948 yes, as long as no mechanical defects a well maintained vehicle no mater the brand should last a few hundred thousand miles before needing a junkyard. My 86 Toyota Celica was the worst vehicle I've ever owned. Toyota is so overrated, especially today.
What miles did you change the trans fluid? I'll do my 2015 Yaris every 4yrs or 40,000m when i get there! Did it at 88,000m 2 yrs ago so far.
It’s all how you take care of your car….Subarus are built for reliability and high car mileage. This video is not a cookie cutter for Subarus
@@martinr8278 they did have a lot of head gasket problems with those boxer engines, especially in the WRX but also every Subaru that's used them. That earned them a bad rep. A lot of pressure in those opposing piston engines causing more wear than on an inline or V application.
I was VP of R&D for a nanotech company. Of the seven people in my group, one owned a Corolla and another owned a RAV 4. Everyone else had a Subaru. Three of us had engine problems, all starting around 100K. In my case Subaru said I used the wrong oil and that was the cause of the problem. This was in spite of me having receipts from the oil changes showing they used the manufacturer's recommended grade. Never will buy another.
I had a 2010 Subaru Outback, six cylinder. Best car I ever had. Sold it in 2021 when wife died. My 2014 Forester runs well, though I've a had a few minor frustrating issues. Would still buy a Subaru as my next car, but would certainly consider Honda, Toyota and Mazda.
Very sorry about your wife.
The Subaru flat-6 is very cool, only maker besides Porsche that made a flat-6. Wish they came with a manual in the USDM.
But I too have had good luck with my Subarus. A 2016 BRZ (FR-S but who's counting) and currently '20 STI.
Fuel economy is NOT their strong suit though lol
Oh and- completely agree about Honda, Toyota, and Mazda.
I'd choose them over Subaru, honestly, if they have an 'equivalent' vehicle of the type I'm looking for.
We own a 2019 Forester Premium bought new. 109,000 miles. Changed oil and filter every 5000 miles. Replaced battery, spark plugs, air filter. Still has original brakes. Very happy with it so far.
Do yourself a favor and change the CVT fluid and also the inline filter
Lots of videos on TH-cam to show you how to do it.
Original brakes at 109k miles? My hybrid doesn't wear brakes much because of regenerative braking but I don't think I've ever heard of another non hybrid vehicle getting that much mileage out of the brakes!
My auto vehicle is 7 yrs old 100k miles....brakes pads never changed yet
@@ADDwithJTC maybe they are Akebono Brakes.
@@ADDwithJTC Yeah, the "original brakes" comment raised my eyebrows, too. I managed to get 48k out of the original set of brakes (they were near shot) on a 2010 Chevy Malibu LTZ, and that was the best brake life I have got out of 14 vehicles we've owned.
I had a Subaru for over 8 years with no problems.
Scotty ,Thanks again for the great review.. I work for Subaru so the more honest reviews we can get ,the better for the brand. God bless..
Hey, happy subie owner here. I have a 2020 Impreza hatchback & it’s the best car I’ve ever owned! My family finally has become an all Subaru family since last year and we couldn’t be happier! Keep up the hard work & dedication guys, you’re making a lot of peoples lives better ✌️❤️
Only issue for me , if reaches 100k it leaks oil( hate that). I got rav4 , the same thing. The one I got that I was impressed was 2001 Honda crv in silver that goes to 240k no leak at all, still very responsive- quick pick up. The paint finish after 10 years still immaculate. It was maintained by dealer up to 90k miles with original parts replacement (if needed ) and then after 90k was maintained by a friend who has garage but previously worked at Honda & Toyota Dealership. Only major replacement was drive shaft, AC relay switch as I remember.
I m currently having 2010 Subaru Legacy with 150 k miles and now daily driving 2001 Toyota Sienna with 116 k miles both had oil leak (minor). That ‘s why I have a basis and always comparing it to Honda. The legacy is also maintained by dealers up to 90k. I’m leaning more on Honda 60-70 k miles is nothing still new for this car just check the maintenance history.
I did months of research and ended up buying a 24 Subaru Crosstrek Sport a couple weeks ago. What a fantastic vehicle for $28,400. There wasn't anything that came close. The Crosstrek is a very smooth well appointed machine. I really like the CVT. The buying experience was fantastic as well.
What type of warranty did you receive on the transmission?
Great choice! We got a 24 Impreza RS instead since they had limited Crosstrek inventory last summer. Im 5’5 and didnt like how high the Crosstrek sits. We hardly get any snow in southern IL, so its serving us well.
@@Rusty-Shackleford69the one that comes with every Subaru, right?
@dforrest4503 Perhaps, which I am not aware of, or did he skillfully negotiate more? I was curious. I see many on the road, but I've never owned one.✌️
You work for Subaru? 😅sounds like a salesman talking.
My 2015 3.6r legacy is going to be my car for a years to come. Too basic, fun and usefull to get rid of.
I have a 2013 Legacy that has 84k miles on it but runs like new. I am sad they are discontinuing the line. Thats what I heard anyway.
Owned a 2005 Forester XT and 2011 Honda CRV Awd. Tuese are thoroughbred reliable workhorses.🎉
We bought a 2014 CIVIC coupe new. It has a CVT and since the wife drives it 99% of the time and she's happy with it.......CVT is fine!
I have a 2015 CVT Forester. It's cost me nothing more than the regular scheduled service.
"So we'll see if Buddha is going to smile on the car here" 😂😂
We own both types of Subi transmissions and I will just say this. They are cars and not race cars. Respect them for what they are and routine maintenance. Ours are close to 200k and still run strong. One was built in Japan and the other in Indiana. Love them or hate them. Everyone has their opinions.
Just like me: I have a Hyundai Elantra 2008 2.0L automatic with 176+ K miles and Zero problems. I will never trade it by any new brand out there, even a Toyota or Honda for Free. NOWAY.
We have about 3,500 miles on our first Subaru. So far so good, it’s not a race car (Forester) but plenty of pep for everyday travel. Definitely fun to drive and the visibility is outstanding. Owned a Ford Escape, looked at CR-V and RAV4 but liked the Forester better and was a better value.
We have a 2020 Subaru Ascent. We love it!
@@HeydaCarreras Besides a Range / Land Rover, you’d be ignorant and stupid to not take any new free car when yours has 176k on it. Also, with an Elantra, you won’t make it to 300k mikes, you just won’t. Toyota and Honda will though. But I’d say you for sure got your moneys worth out of the Elantra with 176k miles.
I think that’s a really big key to longevity proper maintenance and not abusing the equipment. Hell here’s a dirty little secret even racecar drivers don’t treat their race cars like “race cars“. Yeah, they drive hard but you don’t see them stomping on the pedal and abusing the transmission because they know if they do that they’re not gonna last an entire race.
I had a Subaru legacy 2011 purchased new and all scheduled maintenance was completed. The car ran like a dream until 96K miles when a head gasket blew.
We've had 4 cars with CVT transmissions, no problems with any of them.
How many miles did you put on each?
I can vouch for Subaru..my 2017 Legacy has been great. 257k and still going.. biggest repairs so far.. 1 wheel bearing and alternator…suspension is starting to knock around so more repairs are on the horizon.
I love my Subaru. For the money to features ratio it was the best choice among all the other suvs in its class.
The exact thing I found. It wasn't even close. Subaru used many of the same parts from vehicle to vehicle which helps with basic content and simplifies the manufacturing process. Subaru is a smart company.
Have owned many Subarus over the years; many bought new, no issues. You do have some maintanence thibgs to watch; head gaskets, steering racks (leaking), timing belts on the older ones. The 4EAT although needing more gears, is a great auto trans.
Don't want to worry about your car leaking oil? Get an EV, you will only have to worry about spontaneous lithium combustion.
And reliability, and range anxiety, and cold weather. What else? Insurance rates, infrastructure. That's all I can think of. 😊
@@oreally8605 Don't forget hot weather, can't use air-conditioning or you will be walking.
@@oreally8605Tires wearing out faster. Expensive to repair if you are in a wreck and damage battery…
🤣🤣🤣🤣 exactly!
@@billrehm3590So scary, didn't think of that😳😳😳😳😳
The main thing about Subaru boxers is that the engine is laying vertical in the bay and not stand up and create engine roll.
Smoothest ride I ever did own was a Subaru Forester
Recent Subarus are very well made
For the last 18 years I have owned only BMW and changed 6 vehicles in 18 years. Never disappointed in reliability with any model which I have used.
328i, 430i , X1, 235i, X3 , 530i, all models was X drive.
After Long term and a lot of research in the next car buying I'm going to purchase a Mazda CX 90 and will see how it goes.
I accumulated a total of 89 thousand today. I am truly grateful for all the knowledge and information you have given me over the past few weeks. I started with 5 thousand 2 months ago .God bless you Deborah
Hello!! how do you make such monthly, I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God
Thanks to my co-worker (Johnson ) who suggested expert Deborah Davis
After I raised up to 525k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the
state🇺🇸 also paid for my son's
surgery....Glory to God, shalom.
Can I also do it??? My life is facing lots of challenges lately
l've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of TH-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand
The Japanese learned their QA/QC techniques from an American. It is a pity that American automakers never bothered.
Dr.Demming
@@allyjack8437 YES! I could not recall his name.
The Dr went 1st to American companies those American companies told him to pack sand so he took his QA/QC system to Japan the rest is history.
@@allyjack8437 Exactly! Good catch! 👍👍👍
Yes. The six sigma people after the war. But what most people lack is their Kanzai, kanban and Ikigai principles - all imbedded in their culture. It's like they care aboit how others will be and how others will see them.
In GM for an example, they couldn't even care to put an antenna in the middle :-)
"She doesn't know what a transmission is"
A true definition of ignorance is bliss lol
If a transmission goes 200k without ever making itself known..
That is a good transmission that has done a solid life's work.
I just learned my 2004 Saturn ion had a cvt transmission. Original owner and we didn’t touch the transmission oil. Just sold it for an upgrade.
240,000 kms. A great car.
I had NO idea the Ion ever got a CVT. Thank you for correcting that.
I always thought the usual 5-speed manual, 4-speed auto shared with tha Cavalier and Delta platform mates Cobalt etc
My daily is 09 Outback. 162k. I do oil at 5-6k. Running great w no issues. Fingers crossed I can roll with it for a while
I come from a family of Ford drivers. I have had Cortinas, Fiestas and even a Transit Diesel. That was the straw that broke the camels back, with the God awful Duratorq (yes, that's how it's spelt) 1.9 engine. Great when it was running but then, every week something went wrong and it just sucked money out of my wallet like a big white sponge!!! As for my old Toyota. Jeez, I cried when I got rid of it. That was THE best car I ever owned. Engine service each year, never failed an MOT in 9 years. I changed the brakes, exhaust, 1 water pump, a drive belt and sway bar rubbers. It NEVER let me down, NEVER left me stranded anywhere, the only problem was Japanese metal, especially at the rear of the car, does not stand up too well to UK weather and salty roads in the winter. I would gladly buy another one, except they only made that model for 3 years, God knows why, it was so versitile. A great little workhorse!
A sadly common lament. What model Toyota?
@@nthgth Yaris Verso 1.3 VVTi, or 'Fun Cargo' in the States and Japan. It was an MPV type of car. The 3 way splitting rear seats would fold away into the floor space under the front seats, giving you a small van.
Yeah, I just seen on the news, a man with a Tesla crashed and a cop had to break the window and get the man out because it caught fire. It burned completely to the ground because of the highly flammable lithium batteries. I would buy a hybrid. I would never buy an all fully electric EV vehicle.
I've bought a 2024 Crosstrek, but I told the dealership that I would only buy made in Japan. Had to ask about the vehicle vin number identification.
Subaru extended the warranty on some CVTs to 10 yrs or 100k miles, not for charity. Some of their CVTs are not long lasting.
Running a trans shop, i do have to say, Subaru CVT’s scared me at first but they’ve come to be the most reliable CVTs amongst all manufacturers, minus the valve body/ solenoid issues. Most common thing i see causing these trans to fail is people underfilling the trans fluid after service (will make a permanent whining noise). But nonetheless, they are exponentially more relaible compared to Nissan and Honda CVTs.
Mitsubishi”s CVT’s are very good also
Trick is to change the CVT fluid at least every 60k and also change the CVT inline filter
Do this and you shouldn’t have any problems.
Main thing is when refilling the transmission and it stops taking fluid, remember to run the car through the gears and have the engine still running. If you fail to do this, you are at least 1 qt shy of the correct fluid amount.
@@anguslean4058 Mitsubishi uses the same Jatco CVT as Nissan lol!
@@tropepe Yeah but you’ll be suprised at how many idiots are out there that dont know this when servicing it themselves. Including mechanics at other shops
@@Jonathan-bk3dq Mitsubishi went in and changed the programming
They have no problems with that CVT
Next video... Here's why Toyota is bringing the 94 Celica and will have a "Scotty Kilmer Edition" complete with silver paint and Cat head rests. 😺 😺
❤❤❤
Subaru was the first vehicle in the US to use CVT transmissions in 1989 and on their model The Justy.
Got a 2018 Outback built in Indiana…no problems, love it!
I always thought Subarus are good cars. Here in Connecticut (snow country) people love them.
I don't understand how a CVT can have manual change (the paddles)?.
The paddle inputs trigger the CVT to go from one ratio to another pre-programmed in ratio, quickly enough that it feels like a gear change.
It works better or worse depending on brand and car and mode, but that's all it is -- factory-programmed ratios simulating the "gears" of a regular, shifting transmission.
The SRS Airbag occupancy sensor fault is actually a recall item, mine was replaced by the dealership under recall.
Loved my 2013 Outback
3 head gaskets by 80k
I bought a Mazda.
My understanding to really keep your Subbie well maintained and you will have a lasting engine.
Whenever Scotty Kilmers drops the new video I roll up The Fat Woolfords and drink the shots of Screwball peanut butter whiskeys and get all schmoked up
I've found a dead battery will trigger air bag related codes, even though the air bag system is fine.
As a proud owner of a 2002 Subaru Forester S I'd sure like to hear what goes wrong with the regular automatic transmission in them because I don't have a problem so far after years and years
Ah, no, it's 6. 29 million subscribers!
The fact that Toyota parts are making their way into Subarus scares me (for Subaru). Toyota has been plagued with quality control problems for years now and soon, you might start seeing the same problems pop up in Subarus.
Nah
@@scottramey4443 - Just wait, it'll happen. You can't trust Toyota now.
A CVT Scotty likes! He likes it!
He likes the Toyota CVT as well; it has a launch gear.
So Scotty and Mikey both like it! 😉 Pass the milk, please.
@@crosslink1493 I was wondering if somebody would make that connection.
Zero about how Toyota is buying Subaru.
2024 Subaru Crosstrek is highest rated SUV by CR
No way my Ying Yang could take a transmission.
The 4eat automatic transmission is great and very reliable. I have an 2007 Outback with a shiftable 4eat and it’s practically the only part that hasn’t been worked on yet. And I’m a food delivery driver 5 days a week.
I’m confused…. Is Toyota buying Subaru?
Both entertaining and informative
Scotty knows best
If the battery is starting to go bad, it can cause all kinds of electrical error codes to pop up due to voltage fluctuations (voltage fluctuations are what the computer uses to determine if something is has a fault).
Does Subaru put the rainbow sticker on at the factory? Or does it get it from the dealership?
In Minnesota it's the dealership choice, depending on what you look like..... .
If your conservative. You can get a confederate flas
Funny and I a predicate your take. I have 200,000 miles on my Roo and am to the right of Ghengis Kahn and would never put that damn sticker on my vehicle, regardless of mfg.
There's also an option for a Golden Retriever or a Labrador for the interior. It's installed at the dealer.
U sound like a liberal 😂
You didn't mention why Toyota is buying it out... or did that caption suppose to go with another video???
"...they just don't make them like they used to any more.." .....that is just the most universal, true and sad comment pertaining to the industry....it is just like it is...not only certain car brands but EVERYTHING 😣
Highway milage is not a good sign for a Subaru CVT.
And what are you talking a out with the transmission. The auto was bulletproof other than the couple years they put the wrong torque converter in there
They are also not really AWD with those. They are fed unless there is wheel slip.
WHAT!?? Scotty doesnt like CVT? Nooooooo?....LOL. If I had a dime for everytime Scotty mentions it....well, at least I get a smile vs the dime.
He likes Honda's CVT
@@bitpro8903 And 1 launch gear or the new Toyota cvts.
my first car was a '67 bug which at the time was 25 years old and had 165k on it. I've never understood the appeal or advantage of a flat engine.
They are lower in the engine bay giving you much better handling, balance and control than an inline engine. Most flat engine cars don't suffer from body roll due to the low center of gravity. Flat engines also give you steady linear power output which results in smoother acceleration.
I'll keep my Trans Ams, thank you
Buy a subaru with manual trans... that's what we did
You know how far away the moon is? You're nearly there.
I had a 1979 Brat with that style engine. every panel was replaced over 10 years, then the frame rotted. I loved it though.
Doesn’t Suburu tout that they have more used cars on the road than any other brand? I’m guessing they mean by percentage. If true, you would think they would be somewhat reliable.
This has been going on since before 2005. GM Sold their stake of Subaru to Toyota for hybrid technology. Oddly enough to be known Subaru owned a stake in Toyota. The last year of the Saab 92X was the same year they built a walkway above the road between the two factories in Ota Gunma, Japan. So, I think this is more a public Toyota is being bought more by Subaru, but it's more like a merger than anything. This is upper management buying part of Toyota but taking a buyout from managing the upper rung of the company and bowing out in 2 to 3 years.
I'd like to get a Subaru outback that was made in japan that didn't have more then 70,000 on it or like you said had mostly highway miles . But which one do you thinks best ? Between say 2015 to 2018 ?
I thought the older Subarus used JATO cvt' s that were inferior?
I would change the CVT tranny fluid asap.
Yep
That’s the key to making them last
Also the inline filter for the CVT
Do that every 60 K
And it will last
@@anguslean4058 At that mileage {over 200k} I would leave it alone.
Could get it with a manual, past tense.
Hey Scotty, my 2005 AWD Honda CR-V with 230000 miles needs to have all 4 CV axles (drive axles) replaced, do you think it’s worth it or should I start looking for another car?
Never mind I love Toyotas, I love Hondas, I hate Ford. Where does Scotty find the time for his videos. I must watch four or five every day and have done for two or three years. Does Scotty exist? Is he a hologram? Is the Pope a Catholic?
Scotty I'm looking at a Japanese imported Volvo V70R with only 20,000kms it's a 2008. RH Drive are these imports just as reliable as Japanese models built for the North American market?
I just watched your video and I won’t watch another ! Take my advise and go get a real job! I just bought a 2025 outback and absolutely love it!
fantastic
2003 outback 260,900 miles.
Which type of subaru is this
My girlfriend has one with 197k miles!! It still runs great! However it does leak an incredibly small amount of oil but a mechanic told me we could probably go at least a year, or probably two without worrying about that.

My in-laws had a 2017-ish Impreza wagon with a CVT, the transmission went and that was it. My father-in-law didn't even know it was a CVT. And he is anal about oil changes etc, maintenance. But I don't think he ever changed the CVT fluid. It had over 200k when the CVT bombed.
There's your answer, the fluid wasn't changed, so it shortened the CVT's life.
Mechanics out there: are there subscription services or something that you can find info about problems/ repairs for older model vehicles that are seen over the years that you can pull up for yourself or do you have to just depend upon forums and keep up on them and your own personal experience?
I mean, if you specialize in Hondas somebody brings in a 2012 civic, do you have any resource that you use to pull up the most common issues (that aren’t recalls and bulletins ) you may not have actually seen yourself to give you a head start on diagnosing a problem or PM? I am curious what’s out there.
I do know there is a book (a real paper book, last time I've seen it) that tells problems with cars and typical repair time that mechanics use to estimate the labor cost of repairs. It would list the car say 2000, Ford, Focus, Timing Belt, 2.5 hours. For common issues I usually just search for reviews from owners have to say, but I'm sure there is a compilation somewhere. The most common issue with the 2012 Civic is the starter, I've had to replace mine twice in 203,000 miles. That's pretty much it, so I'll take it.
All data it’s just such a service. It’s like $60 a year and the price goes down if you buy a couple of years in advance. I use it for several of me and my wife’s vehicles.
Not a Boxter. That’s a Porsche. This motor is a Boxer, no T.
I like the Porsche Boxster boxer
So what is Toyota buyng out?
They buying Scotty.
@@sleepysamk1400no
Subaru. They already did
Hey Scotty are you a fan of the cvt trans?
He is not
Is it normal to replace a transmission when car has gone 180,000 miles. Toyota Sienna minivan 2004
At that age and mileage it’s not uncommon.
My neighbors Subaru just took a dump, transmission issues.
Anybody must know a car has which type of transmission, before buying it. Manual will go forever.
Remember the Justy?
Give me a 1967 ford mustang 200 c.i. six, over any thing made today.
It's unfortunate that the United Auto Workers don't take pride in building cars as the Japanese do. I think they just care about making a living
I had one of those years ago it would have been a decent vehicle if it hadn't blown head gaskets.
SUUURRRRE it did...... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Love the all-wheel-drive on Subarus, but a lot of them burn oil like nobody's business. They have had class action law suits for "excessive oil consumption", some people received new engines as a result. Subaru even added a second oil light on later models to tell you when your oil is low. I had a 2007 Forester MT for several years and loved driving it, but I had to put a quart of oil in it every 1K miles. I'm Sticking with Honda/Acura from now on.
You're talking ancient (and more than a little questionable) history. You're still whining about a 2007 car SEVENTEEN YEARS LATER, and trying to convince others to judge contemporary Subarus by your past experience? Wow. Troll much?
@@eskieman3948 The class action law suit was for 2011 - 2015 models. Do a google search, and you'll find info about that one and another one where owners were suing about faulty pistons requiring expensive engine repairs. Just think folks should do some specific model year research before buying a used Subaru.
She got the oil changed...I see an STP oil filter in there when Scotty opened the hood...what shop uses an STP oil filter...? You may want to advise her to perhaps switch shops to one that uses better filters. Goodness knows what cheap oil they put in...
She probably changes it every 3K
I believe Toyota owns 20% of Subaru.
That is good ❤
Yep - that's about right. And they have been working on projects together for over 13 years.
Thanks 👍
Thanks Dude u r ssssswell
Btw i asked a wonderful llady what kind of csr did so & so drive? She looked at me and said. "Red!" Reminded me
