The service advisor handed me off to the guy in charge of the garage and wasn't seen from again. This was around 5:30pm on a Friday. Unfortunately I do not have proof of oil changes, I never really thought this would ever be a thing that was necessary, clearly I was wrong. You're definitely right about the Oil filter unfortunately. Not sure how much it may matter, but I intend on recording when we open it up(hopefully later on this evening) with my neighbors tube/pipe(?) cutter. I mean would someone really just have an oil filter lying around that would (hopefully) have bits of RTV inside of it? |

And it is possible they cleaned up the pick up tube. Your last hope might be to find out where they put RTV and how much. There are certain areas on the engine where they are not supposed to put RTV and the amount is also important. |

Excessive sludge buildup pretty much went away with the wide spread use of detergent oil. Back in the mid 50s, the worst thing you could do to an engine was to start using detergent oil after it had run on non-detergent oil all it's life. Oh well, let's hope they get your car's engine fixed up soon. humfrz |

yeah its painful to see so many issues yet people still keep taking their cars in. Im guessing most people don't post on here until after they have issues instead of researching beforehand. Because we are supposed to "Trust" a large corporation like Toyota |

It takes some real insider knowledge to decline this recall with confidence. I feel bad for the owners who have no choice but to trust Subaru's severely flawed decision.

No way on earth would they have touched you engine if it had metal shavings in the oil. This is a clear cut lie. If there are metal shavings in your oil the engine is already toast and they wouldn’t risk working on it and then getting blamed for a blown engine one mile after being picked up. |

I wouldn't need insider knowledge. The amount of problems found just on this forum would be enough for me. Especially if the reason for the recall has never happened to me. Basically don't Fk with it if it aint broke |

I don't think it's that great a chance. Note every dealer is incompetent. Most are smart enough to see a major repair and put the right people on the rob. My service adviser said they put the guy who builds engines all day every day for a hobby on the job. They'd done 14 of them by the time I got my car back, and only one had come back with a serious issue, a transmission misalignment that was easily fixed. I'm only 2500 miles or so in, but I've been driving it like I stole it. No issues other than the broken aftermarket header, and that header had been welded like five times before, so it wasn't the dealer's fault. It's just not a panic issue. Avoid it if you want, sure. But trade in and buy another one? Meh.
