    I work at the INL in Idaho as an electrician. I bought a used 2002 Camry with about 150,000 miles, when started in 2012 and put over 130,000 miles on it. I drive 500-600 miles a week. I got rearend in August of 2020. I think i could have added another 100k to it. I just did the regular maintenance on it.
    I bought a new Camry in 2020 when Toyota was offering no interest loans.
    Its an AWD model with the 4 cylinder.
    Already over 100k on it.
    Toyota has me sold with build quality.

    my '09 corolla has approx 320k miles on it and still going strong! just drove from AZ to NC for the holidays, and will turn around and drive back to AZ in a few weeks (it's around 2,000 miles one-way). only gripe is a small oil leak.

    Just ran across the channel… while I’m a tech and fluent in Asian and domestic vehicles, my son has a 2011 WRX STI that he ran low on oil and…. knock knock knock. He was furloughed at the start of Covid and I told him to buy parts. He bought a new crank, OEM gaskets and seals, forged pistons, Manley rods, etc. So all there is to do is rebuild it… and I’m smart enough to know that it would be unwise to just rip and tear. Engine is out and on a stand. It’s been down since 2021 and I really want to fix this unit. I’ll be diving deep into your videos for guidance.

    Mr. Subaru, could you do a video explaining the difference of Subaru’s High Performance Gear Oil 75W-90 vs. the OEM Extra MT 75W-80? As consumers we can’t buy the Extra MT 75W-80. Which our User Manuals say is the required fluid. It says we can use 75W-90, but that we will lose “drivability and efficiency”. I have a 2023 Crosstrek w/ 6MT.

  • @MrPoppyDuck
    @MrPoppyDuck 7 місяців тому +2

    As much as I like Subarus I am finding they go through more parts than Hondas and Toyotas due to the flat 4 design. Still it is a tradeoff as the Subie is a blast to drive in snow and rain compared to the FW drive cars.

    This is kinda unrelated to the video but what’s ur opinion on oil changes with using good quality oil or high quality oil?
