My Subaru Legacy 1992; the Bolt that seal the Oil Pan is right in front = about 45-55cm / 2 feet from the Bumper; So, I had changed our Oil every Quarter; bought Bulk-load Oil at 50% of Cost = store for the whole year; and refilled / restocked with new 50% so we/I could have Oil anytime wanted to change at 50% Cost... Changed Oil Filter once annually and Air Filter/ we/I washed them, reused and bought Generic and Changed so often that the Subaru Legacy 1992 Model had original Timing-Belt since 1992- 2018; The Winter Tires and Rims Bridgestone Made in Japan by Subaru last us until now; still in the Garage. Having Changed CV Axes and almost everything was original; I had bought some Parts from Junkyard Accidents Cars and replaced the Original Parts around the Filter-house... It was one of the Best Car ever that cost us only 2000.00 CAD$ to have changed Timing-belt and some Thermostat/Water Pumps and Transmission Flush; that was all... Only Gasoline Cost but was very cheap back in first 20 years,... Cheers Car was stolen in May 2023 So it last with us 31 years and we/I can still drive at least 5 more years with all new Parts replaced in 2019!! 😍 😍 💘 💘 💕 💕 Subaru and Boxer Type Horizontal Oppose Engines.
Next time, when you change Filter; use an old Dishwashing Pair of Latex Gloves -- The Heavy Duty ones about 4 Dollars. The Latex grasp the Filter very good, help the reduce the strain of our Wrist... To DRAIN the Oil during the Bolt removal, I used a Paper tower cover the hole and let the Tower off slowly so; there was no spout/ splashing 💦 💦 (as I have change 4 times a year periodically) Cheers, Jung Tran.
I was thinking of the same thing. Mine needs an oil change, I was waiting for a warning light to come on for oil change, but it never did. Now I went over 10k miles. 😢😢😢😢
I alway use Castro Syntec for all my cars. This is my daughter car, so I dont recall the grade it required, but it was in the manual. The oil cap in the video shows its 0W20
Great video. Very nice step by step instructions. My oil pan bolt is 14mm for some reason.
