I buy the filter from a local Subie dealer the same day I do the oil change and use a cc for the purchase that way I have two ways to confirm the date. I figure as long as I have a firm purchase date and a consistent story I have a leg up if I need it.

Some guy on here said he takes a pic of the oil and filer receipt beside the odometer. Always thought that was a great idea.

Did you say you had an OFT tune and the dealer did not detect it? Or the dealer did not care? I have been itching to flash mine with the OFT but only reason that kept me from doing it was I thought it would void my factory warranty on my 2013 FRS. Can you shed more light? |

An update on the FA motor that my friend built is a bit of a concern.
It was decided for various reasons that the timing cover needed to come off to check something after it had been fitted . Silastic had been applied to all surfaces including the main oil gallery from the block to the timing cover where the oil pump is located with the O'ring installed. On removal of the timing cover it was found that the mating surfaces between the block and the timing cover for the oil gallery did not meet as NONE of the silastic was squished out from the mating surfaces if that makes sense. It could be seen that the O'ring was only just contacting on one side by a hairline so this could be another point for oil starvation as the oil pump could possibly suck air at this point . Will try to get some pics up if people are interested. |

Wait so you’re saying that common timing cover leak caused you to leak enough oil to spin a rod bearing? How often do you check your oil? I have this leak but it’s hardly enough to notice a loss between oil changes much less routine oil level checks. At the rate mine is leaking it would probably take years to get to a critical level. |

Oh okay I’ve gotcha. Eventually I will pull my cover and repack it. Its just not leaking enough to motivate me to go through the hassle yet. I hate doing FIPG’s. Cleaning up the old mess is a pain, applying it is a pain. Bump it on install and you get to redo part of it. Ugh. At least doing it myself I will have the peace of mind knowing someone didn’t blob massive quantities of packing on it. |

Around 1500 km after the last time they "fixed" it - I was driving along, and got the dreaded bearing knock noise.

I'm thinking that if I ever get a timing cover leak, I'm just going to tape a sponge over the leak and change it every now and then ...........
