  1. Well... at First: Happy New Year for Everyone! This is About the Lubricants (Oils, Greases, etc... ) and Additives we Use on our Subies, and to Share the Experience / Results, etc... with `em. Because some of us did have bad experiences with some Oils, Fake "Magical" Additives, etc... I think is Important to Share our Experiences and ask for Good Advice. For Start: Did someone Used This: Oil in a Subaru? I am Afraid to use it, `cos the Extra Viscosity grade, and Stickin` Additives may clog the Hydro Lifters... What do you Think `bout? in my EA82, since 1985 (When it was New) dad used the Castrol 20W-50, (We have here only Tropical climates) then we Switched to Chevron, same Grade. Then, with time we Tried other Brands, due to Avaliability facts, as Pennzoil, Valvoline, and Quaker State. This is not to do Negative Criticism, but with Pennzoil we obtained more "Tick of Death" and the engine`s interior became more Clogged with gum & Varnish (I know that due to a Change of Oil Pan`s Gasket) With Chevron, the "Tick" almost goes... but since 2001, we only use Motul Brand oil. (Minerally Based) that is the Brand that suggested the Honduran Dealer, (Also you can see a Subie in they Page: http://www.motul.com/ ) I know that my EA82 Oil Pump isn`t in good shape (21+ years of Work) , but have noticed this curious Behavior: when the Oil is New (Freshly Changed) the "Tick" sounds became a Li`l bit Harder, but when Oil became Older (A month of Use) the Tick is almost Gone! Also, when I Use other Oil Brands, the "Tick" becomes Harder and stays like that untill I Change it with Motul... Why? Thank you for Share your Experiences too.
  2. I Like to see Pics of it Too! Some Pics of Subaru Engines used in Planes: They always use the EA81, (Now with a 200 HP version) due to no Timin` Belts...
  3. Well, but I like the Idea, `cos when you finish the Job, you`ll have an Almost Brand New Loyale Congratulations. I did put -almost- all my Money in my Loyales too... They worth it I`ll Love to see more pics of it soon! ...
  4. And just for Share Info & Images `bout Racin` Subies, Look at This: For even More Subaru Weirdness, Visit this Thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=53434
  5. Well... This is a Race Subaru, but F1, not Rally... Remember the Flat 12?:
  6. Welcome! Bad Alternators can give enough Volts to the System, but without the Strenght needed (I Mean Amperes) so, your car can be Safely Driven by Day, but Battery Gone low when you Drive it by Night, due to Higher Current Consumption from the Lights... I Suggest to Check Alt. for Amperes instead of Volts, and Swap with another good one if you can; maybe from a Junk yard... Bad Alts can be Repaired too... Good Luck!
  7. Some Older Peugeot Rims will work fine in Subies.
  8. We at LatinAmerica Too! Also the 1.3 Loyale ... Those are "Economical" or "E" Class Vehicles.
  9. Its Good Idea!, also it can be on the Main Links, those are located in a small Black Box, near the Battery... Welcome! Good Luck!
  10. Yes! ... Don´t cut it off... but, Why you wanna your Subie to be Lightweighted? Lightweight Vehicles Speeds very much Faster, but are much more Dangerous to keep ´em under Control in Sorpresive Situations...
  11. Look at This Rally OldGen: What do You Think ´bout?
  12. No, Sorry... Maybe I Can Find some... Look at This XT6 Ralling: What do You Think ´bout?
  13. Maybe That´s the Answer... Try to Use less the Secondary...
  14. Rust Highlights? It remembered me that "Rust-eze" Brand on the Movie "Cars"
  15. Well... I Like the Look and the Sticker Too... but the 91Loyale´s is a Good Question.
