cookie Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 to whine a bit more when you back off. Sounds like a slight pinion whine. I have nearly 100,000 miles and I expect some increase in driveline noise, but my brother in law's Legacy at about the same mileage is quieter. The Forester may be a less expensive model with less insulation, and so more sound. Is this fairly normal with this car? The noise increases with load but not much. I was thinking of trying Redline oil because of all the good reports I have heard. Any comments from you long time Subie folks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Redline will probably make it quieter for a while, but after maybe 20k miles, Redline seems to let the noise back in. Not sure why. I am going to switch back to Mobil 1 next time, the Redline isn't worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myles Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Is Mobil1 too slick for the syncros? Anyone have any experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
