I've owned a 2008 diesel Outback now with 123,000 miles on it for just over seven years; as another member mentioned a few posts earlier, my opinion is also that the injector timing is out when the engine is cold especially in winter conditions. Car runs like a sewing machine once properly warmed up. I've also tried Slick 50, premium diesel, Millers diesel additive etc but none have made any difference as far as I can tell.
