Your HPFP (crickets) should be covered under the 60,000 mile powertrain warranty.

Hopefully it won't require an engine-out!

Surprised that they need to be changed every 60K (was assuming 100K like lots of cars these days).

You guys drive a lot. I'm at 6700, bought in April of 2013. Already managed to spend over 4k in mods lol.

Good luck with the plugs, looks like a tight fit.

Nice! Just shy of 46K right now.

Because it takes 2 minutes to do. I don't have any proof that it does anything, but I figure a fresh filter every 2500 miles can't hurt anything, and they aren't super expensive. I read that a lot of turbo subaru guys do it, and I just adopted the practice when I got this car.

Awesome!!! I had a 100m round trip commute and drove the Midwest for work once a month or so. What got you up here so quickly?

I did try to get my GPS antenna replaced at 42K, but they said I was out of warranty. I tried to argue that the antenna was being replaced as a faulty design and it would be bad regardless of mileage but the dealership didn't bite and said a TSB wasn't enough to warrant a replacement.

I was under the impression tsb's overrode warrantys.

How often do you change your air filter then?

Where do you get OEM Subaru oil filters from? For some reason I remember having trouble finding them but you've clearly done quite a few changes - do you get them online?

Superhatch · 12-20-2013, 03:26 PM

I usually buy them from my local dealer, but if I'm on the road and I'm near my 2500 change I just pop into whatever the closest dealership is on my drive and pick up a filter. A lot of the middle of nowhere dealerships are great to stop at because they don't get too many BRZ's on the lot and someone always ends up talking to me about it.

I have a Perrin air filter which I clean out during my 5k oil changes.

16+ months of 80miles/day minimum and lots of road trips/meets up in LA. I live in N SD county.

To replace the oil filter only,iIs there anything else you have to replace, like a gasket or something? Or is it just as simple as twist old one off and twist new one in.

I haven't done any maintenance yet since I'm covered under a maintenance plan but the 7,500 interval I get them at sounds a bit much.
