Could this video be any more vague on just how big a problem this is? Terms like "a lot of owners" etc means nothing. Also, starting off the discussion by saying it "started happening with a couple of months of the car coming out" then immediately saying "it happens when tracked cars have 10K or 20K miles on them" doesn't help with credibility. Nor does saying it happens with "modded cars".
I get the point, there is an issue for some people with the vehicle and there have been issues with some of the warranty coverage, but like the valve spring issue they refer to, it's a small limited number of cases out of thousands of vehicles.

Bullshit clickbait right from the title. Just say no.

Is it advisable to overfill the oil by 1/2-quart or even a quart to mitigate risk oil starvation at the track, or would that quickly result in frothing issues?
First track days with my '23 are coming up next Mon/Tue at NJMP Lightning! Only mods are lowered ~32mm on RCE SS-2 coilovers, SPC camber bolt at left front, hope to have at least -3 front camber, rear camber is -2.7/-2.1. This car is *way* more asymmetrical than my '17 was! Will be running 225 RT660s on 17x9 +37 wheels, and maybe also 225 A052s on 17x9 +35 if the RT660s do not rub... Fingers crossed! |

Over an hour long, I watched 2 minutes.

I am listening to it now and it is pretty garbage.
So far: Lot of cars, mentions 3 that blew up. Claims thedrive is releasing an article on a blown up car every month. Doesn't believe RTV is the root cause, thinks it is lateral G. Thetopher believes frequent oil changes and adding liquid moly helps.

It gets better. Zygrene doesn't think dropping the oil pan to check for RTV is worth doing. He advocates more frequent oil changes, adding liquid moly, and using 5-30. The others disagree on this. One of them being friends with the guy from CM Autohous who is in the bay area and regularly posts video of cleaning GR/BRZ oil pickups. I'm listening, not watching so I don't know who said this. Pretty sure if you have a dealer do this, and they find RTV, they will probably cover under warranty.

![]() My first track day with the 23 is coming up this weekend as well. No mods except BBK. I never messed with the pan and I'm not concerned about the engine at all. Fresh-ish M1 0w20 and will avoid getting it near 260F. If it blows up and Toyota will cover it, I wonder if they could just give me a cash payout instead of fixing it? Solve the issue permanently by putting a non-Subaru engine in ![]() |

Back to the video: Again, I can't see who is saying what all the time but one of the claims is the car is only capable of doing 2-3 laps before overheating and modifications only help that a little bit.

The whole video is like this. They seem to blame lateral force a lot but don't say what pressure numbers they consider starvation. The oiling system on the FA24 isn't that much different then the FA20. The routing from the pickup to the timing cover is actually nicer looking with less bends and passage changes but they keep talking about how tough the FA20 was. They are the same architecture ![]()
