I had a 2016 wrx bone stock. I did all of my oil changes on time. And at 132,000 miles the engine went out. All in one day with no prior problems. Cylinder 3 spun a bearing at the crank. I heard a tick after driving to work. Sounded like lifters. I checked my oil and was at the top of the full line. Drove it home and when I exited the highway, it sounded like a jack hammer. Engine was toast. I babied that thing. Was my second wrx. Got it to a Subaru dealer and they told me this is common on the fa20. If I knew that a month before I would have traded it in for a newer one. They told me new engine and clutch kit, with labor $15,600. Now it’s at auction… Be careful with that engine. I just wanted to pass on the story. As I had no clue that this was common in that engine. I hadn’t looked up anything on that car in years. I just kept the maintenance up and drove it. Still has factory clutch and brakes. They out lasted the engine. I’m almost ashamed to say, I bought my 3rd one now. But I’m terrified of that fa20 forever.
@@WaRcHiLdv1 Sorry to hear about the experience you had with the FA20, thanks for the heads up. I actually just sent out an oil analysis to Blackstone Labs to analyze the oil since I'm approaching 40k just to see how things are doing. Hoping you have a better experience this time, they really are fun cars
You definitely inspired me to get a wrx with these vids, thank you! Also subscribed
Wow that's awesome! I'm happy to have been able to help, glory to God! :)
You need to pick oil & air separator. Your past due.

Lol. Mine was white as well. And I do miss that car.
