Oil change time
So 5k interim is coming up, used millers cfs10-40 for the past 3 years and happy with it, recently noticed my oil temps hitting the mid to high 90's when really pushing on for extended periods of motorway driving, spoken to opie a while back, said there's not much point in a 10-50 any other views on this as most mapped/modded cars that I know go to 10-50? Also thinking of possibly going down to a 5w as she lives outside now and when I don't use the sump heater takes a little longer to get up to temp opinions please

Where to get some mud flaps?
Rally armour do soem to fit but aren't cheap, have a look on forester.org for various options, I believe the generic ones that scooby world et all sell fit with some minor mods, or you could do the 'ikea' mod !

Tyres
I'm on the goodyear efficient grip how hard do you push the car ? I bought them for the a rated wet grip, figured I should never run out of dry grip on any decent tyres so far they perform well in dry and are very good in the wet, Obviously the cross climate are a genuine all season tyre and I think the only tyre of its type the tuv have snow marked so depends on if you use winter tyres aswell ?

330s project stealth
Depends on how much you want to spend, I got a perrin one from scooby clinic, ptp are another well respected brand but you'll have to ship from the states, I have mine without the heat shield, the ic is cool to touch after a long run and can also put my hand on the blanket, Some of the UK sellers blankets are 2x as much and I can't see why, Cdf, do them amongst others

Forester dilemma
Not sure about the tank size as mine's a sf5 so it shares a 45l tank with the same year impreza, Major service is every 3 or 4 years depending on model an interim service is about a ton but is easy enough to do yourself, plugs are a pain but again only once every 3/4 years Like most jap cars you can pretty much dismantle it with 4 sockets and a screwdriver [emoji3] Once you get your head round the layout of the engine they are easy really.

Forester dilemma
Hello & welcome, Not sure of any foz owners that way on her but you could try uk foz too, Runing costs aren't too bad if you find a local specialists, With a six mile commute you'll only really get mpg in the low 20's on longer runs expect high 20's early 30's Only other things really is servicing, an independent will be roughly half the cost of subaru, Typical costing breakdowns are dependant on your garage but rough prices are Clutch 300-400 Major service 350-500 Cambelt 350-450 The rest of the parts are relatively cheap and widely available, and if you like working on your own car then they are fairly easy to do.

New bumper or repair? Pics included.
Depends on how much a new bumper is + cost of paint, could be cheaper to get it repaired ?

Looking good mate, So my 'sf5' zeros ports undertray arrived today, as I expected it's not looks like a classic one, so there's a 2" gap all the way round to the i/c and it's about 3" too long so do I go to the hassle of modifying a skirt to fit,of just sell it on ?? Gappage
