I purchased blade replacements from Subaru and received small packets
of:
Optomizer: Clean rubber wiper element with the Optimizer pad to
increase and prolong wiper performance.

I just talked to a service guy at Subaru and he said:
Every time you start the car, it does a full diagnostic and if any
sensor is out of its valid range the CEL will be illuminated.  The CEL
does not store its state between car starts.

For some reason, my dog decided that both front seatbelts looked
delicious and managed to chew them up in about 20 minutes last night.
(He's never chewed anything before so I'm still wondering why this
happened)

I've just had to replace the ECU in a 1988 GL -- everything else
checked OK but the actual ECU, in the end, and it was that or see the

Hi all, I own a 2003 forester xs and have 16,500 miles.  The dealer wanted
to perform a 15K miles service which included changing the trani fluid.

best place to have it done at the dealer or could any ...

My 2003 Outback Wagon will be needing new tires sometime this summer.  Reading the reviews at
Tirerack.com and other places seem to indicate that Goodyear TripleTred tires could be a good
choice.  A couple of reviews reported significantly reduced gas mileage when these tires ...

I don't know much about automotive service, but I prefer the idea of doing
things myself, rather than pay someone, when it's a simple fix.  (So far the

I'm taking my OBS in for it's 60k maintenance service and I know the dealer
will be suggesting that I spend $120.00 (with coupon) to clean my fuel
injectors.  Am I wrong to balk at that service?  Won't a $5 additive that I
buy at the store do the same thing?

I have a 2000 Subaru Outback that developed coolant leaks at Headgaskets
leaked at 20,000, 46,000 and the last one at 63,000 miles. I had the tsb
done with the additive but it's done no good. Are there any good NJ
dealers out there that anyone can recommend? I'm talking to a lawyer ...

Is  the turbo always in operation, as when just cruising at steady
city or highway speeds, or does it only come into operation when you
hit the gas pedal hard, as in rapid accelleration, passing etc ???
How about slowly accellerating from a traffic light versus getting

I have read here that the winter fuel used in the Northeast will lower my
