erikvr Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Ok guys, I can't find anywhere that lists the "must have" EA82 oem parts...where those after-market parts just don't do the trick. You can find bits and pieces of wisdom in threads, but no comperhensive list. I found out the hard way that one MUST HAVE OEM part is: PCV VALVE Carry on, wise ones.... list away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubuild Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 PCV valve Thermostat ( and retain same temp ) Distributor caps and rotors for Hitachi models Oil Filter Engine bearings (manufactured by NOK?? for Subaru) alot of bearing companies rebox with ?NOK? Not a must, but better of with: EA-81 Clutch cables EA-82 V/C gasket kits Front brake pads w/kits Timing belts Carbureted air filters encased in metal not rubber Fuel filters by Nippon-Micro (for Subaru) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowmastered87GL Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Cam tower O-rings. I belive that the OEM ones are re-inforced. some aftermarket ones are not and lead to earlier than normal oil leaks. I believe in only getting factory spark plugs after blowing up an NGK in my car (basically the same part, but made in the US instead of japan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

555Ron Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Oil Seals - much better quality not a must - waterpump, oems fit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richierich Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I believe in OE equipment, that that doesn't always mean you have to buy from the dealership. Many parts are manufactered by a company for Subaru. So the OE waterpump for most GL/Loyales is a Paraut/Atsugi with the 8mm hole. You can save over $20 by buying it at a parts store rather than the dealership. Most seals are made by NOK, and when in doubt always buy from the dealership. I disagree about the Spark Plugs, buy NGK from a parts store and save yourself money, they are EXACTLY the same, the big box that NGK come in says made in Japan, the 4 spark plug box says made in the US and the small single box spark plug says Made in Japan. They are a multination company, you really don't know where the Subaru ones are made now. Mike, just because you have had one bad experience with the ones bought at the part store, you have bought from the dealership, but my father who is a Subaru mechanic who has work at the dealership for 20 years has had plenty of bad NGK that have came in a Subaru box.

WJM Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 pretty much...everything OE is what you want for these cars. If not...expect failure on non-performance oriented parts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subarule Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Where is the best place to buy oem parts? The Internet. Just do a Google search for "XXXX XX (the year and model) OEM XXXXX (part name and/or number). Always works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapper 157 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) I've been told on this forum that Fram is the OEM oil filter..... I guess that is bad? There is a lot of separation on this issue. FRAM got a bad rep at some point in time and now everyone assumes they suck. In reality,their ultra filters are some of the best you can buy for the money. They have fiberglass media with a wire mesh screen for added support. They have A silicone bypass valve. And they have metal end caps. Their extra guard isn't that bad either, my family has used the extras for 20+ years on a variety of vehicles, all of which are still running perfectly. Although the construction and filtration is not as good as the on the eXtra guard than it is on the Ultra Guard.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Regarding Oil Filter, I have thirty years using Purolator 10028 on my Subaru "BumbleBeast" The only time I placed the Luber-Finer equivalent, my Sublie literally Blown it away ... ... The reason was the short thread located deeper on the filter's base, never screw all the way. By the way, the 10028 is an inch shorter than the recommended, everything else is identical. No issues after thirty years and almost 400K miles so far and counting... Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihscout54 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Many parts boxed by beck arnley and likely others are just lot buy out NOS subaru stuff. Seals. mounts and ball joints from B/A are usually in a genuine subaru bag inside the box. Another item that makes the list imo is intake manifold gaskets. On the ea81s the aftermarket ones suck.
