Hi,
I've just bought a 2004 WRX turbo wagon and intend to maintain it myself. It's the first Subaru I've owned although I have much classic car experience but would appreciate some advice on the best parts, etc to maintain a car that is well overdue for some TLC! A service is priority No 1 so any thoughts on which synthetic oil is recommended for these engines, do I use a Subaru or other make oil filter (ie Manns) and looking into the engine bay, how on earth do you get the spark plugs out? There must be a trick - which make plugs are best for this engine? It has been chipped, up-rated.
Sorry for all this, but I know other owners will have many yrs experience of these fine cars!
PS. I have play in both f.wishbones bottom ball joints (alloy arms) and will need to replace the joints if possible, or the complete w/bones - any advice welcome on this too!
Many thanks
Its a nice rust-free car, and will also be breaking out the waxoyl inside the cavities to keep on top of it
Regards
Nigel
