Hey everyone. I wanted to get some knowledge and advice from folks whom are more mechanically minded than myself so here goes. I have done a 2.5 swap on my 02 bugeye WRX over the winter reading and watching YouTube to learn more and diy it. Bought a iag ej257 stage 2 tuff and have b25 heads...

I was just wondering what oil brands you guys run for the fa20 and if you use 5w30 or 5w40. I have been using 5w-30 but if anyone has some input on the best oil to use for my car. Thanks everyone :)

Picked up 5 qts of Red Line High Performance 5W40 as I'm due for a change soon. Curious if anyone has run this in winter? I know the specs and everything say it's fine but with our finicky EJs thought I'd ask for firsthand experience.

Hey guys I’m a big car guy I grew up with race cars n used to have a 700 hp cobra , but I always loved Subaru’s and always wanted one. I have worked on plenty but never got deep into modding to much. So I got a 17 Sti which I love it came with a invidia q300 catback, cob cai , n I think it had a...

Recently picked up my first wrx and am finally getting a chance to go over and inspect everything. Car has 34k and had one previous owner. Never been modded. Dealer overfilled the crap out of engine oil so I will be taking care of that. I went to check trans/gear oil and it’s noticeably below...

Hey so I usually use Mobil 1 5-30 I’ve always used that in all my cars and the 2011 wrx is no different. However I’m learning now that it’s not a good oil to use with our cars. Everybody has said to use rotella t6 5-40 but I saw a post that said they changed the formula for the t6 and it’s no...

I've got a brand new oil temperature sensor (PN: H5010FC025) for sale. I chased it down across all Subaru dealers in the USA and got the very last one back in 2010. You can't get them unless you buy the gauge pack now. :( I'll throw in the extra 10 drain plug gaskets (the sensor has one as...

Have you considered swapping over your EJ20 Oil Pan to the STI Oil Pan but thought it may cost an arm & leg? We are now offering the Oil Pan Swap Kit so you can do it simply and cost effectively. What are the benefits? The OEM EJ20 Oil Pan is flat and wide, which can result in oil at times...

Hello guys, I'm in the final steps of having my car up and running again, and I have a couple of questions about engine break in. I read an article over COBB Webpage about their own recommendations, and while I agree with it, there is something causing me trouble. There's no way to get...

Iv recently fited an air filter to my car, when i went to test it on road it sounded great which is what i wanted but after i was free from trafic i put my foot down and at around 5 thoudand RPM its like the rev limiter cut in where it would normally come in at 7 thousand i think. could any one...

I just purchased a WRX and decided to take it to Quick Lube for the first oil change (first time I haven't done it by myself on any car). I got the correct Mobile-1 Filter and asked them what kind of oil they'd be using. They put in 0w-30 Mobile-1. My engine was hot and they drained it after it...
