from what I've read, the diff washers are crush type and shouldn't really be re-used. The trans has standard flat washer and can be used over again.
So I'm surprised to hear that the suby dealership re-uses the diff washers.. oh well.. no big deal |

I was planning on reusing the crush washers, but I don't mind waiting a week to get new ones if that's what you guys are also planning to do. I will be changing my engine oil for sure this weekend. I'll most probably do it at my friends garage, who lives 5 minutes away from my house! Let me know what you guys decide! |

Have any of you heard of any engine issues related to air fuel ratio above 5500 rpm? Supposedly, there seems to be an issue when you constantly rev above 5500 rpm that you engine starts to run lean. This causes damage to the spark plugs and in the long run, the engine too.
It seems that this is a cal fix and Subaru has released an official update, but it is available only to South Africa and not the other countries. I tried searching for this online, but couldn't get good info on it. Source: A non-BRZ owner, but he AutoXs his friend's BRZ. Does anyone know anything else about this? |

I was initially planning to reuse my crush washers, but after reading around I think it is better to use new ones. I don't mind waiting a week if I can get new washers in. I would like to put in my washers and oil together as it would be easier for me to get both done when the car is on stands. Looks like both of you would be getting your oils changed today afternoon. I don't think I'll be able to make it as something else came up. Let me know if I can pick up the oil and the washers sometime next weekend. I can then put it on myself at my friend's garage, as he too is planning on working on his engine. Thanks! |

Yup, that's my plan! Also, I'm at 13k miles right now so this is not a change that I have to do immediately. Would have liked to meet new people from this forum but I guess that will have to wait!

I was going to wait until we could all get together and do the swap but scheduling will be problematic so we are just doing ours today. Hopefully we can get a meet for the forum soon

Just a little tip for all my friends.. because I'm all about watching out for you guys..
When you're changing the fluid in your transmission, make sure you put the washer on the drain plug BEFORE you put it back into the trans and fill up the trans with fluid. I'm such a moron! lol Oh well.. mission accomplished. I am happy with the results.. nice smooth shifter.. still a little notchy into 2nd gear. I feel loads better about the diff.. man there was a lot of metal shavings on that magnetic plug tip. I have the two diff fill crush washers.. they came in today at Suburban.. I'm not sure I am going to take the time to replace mine.. the used crush washer seemed to seal just fine and I'm not very worried about the fill plug leaking. But for @ZeHeadBanger you are welcome to come pick up your stuff anytime. I work at Delphi in Troy if that's closer to you.. just let me know and I can bring the stuff to work for you. |
