Ive heard that with Impreza's you have to follow a procedure when changing the oil.

Is it any different to changing the oil on any other car?

Cheers

 

Anyone care to open?

 

Just pre-fill the oil filter with the new oil.
Or, SEARCH!

 

theres a sensor you need to remove before you start, cant remember what it is though? is it a pressure sensor?

 

Crank sensor

 

You just need to remove the crank sensor, the reason being, once you've filled it up you can then turn the engine over without it started, thus allowing the oil to be passed all throughout the engine ready for that first tuen over.

 

where is the crank sensor located?

 

Mr Lewis can give you the full low-down

 

he'll be along shortly

 

Found it. This is the only way to change oil on a Scoob.

the old trusted lewis procedure

 

Cheers guys

Just bought 4litres of Castrol Magnatec 10W 40 part synthetic..is this ok to use?

Also does anyone know the code of the correct oil filter to use? MY00 classic turbo

 

Gosh - surprised Mr Lewis hasn't ripped into this one...... typical of Subaru's many tall tales of must do's and must not do's most of which are complete rubbish.... come on Pete where are you ??????????????

 

should be ok, personaly i use mobile 1 15/50 fully synthetic oil.
its for my own peace of mind

 

Ive read on another site that its best not to fill the car up full with oil but to leave it half full?? Is this true??

 

I use either millers or silkolene myself, and fill her just under full.

 

Should be made a sticky .......................................

 

You're a funny chap when you're not playing with people..
