I can't remember exactly which warranty I picked up on my outback wagon (2001), BUT - it certainly has come in handy, it's come in to play for me at least 3 times. It was applied to a head gasket problem we had at about 60k maybe 2-3 years ago and just his morning it's covering a new alternator at 96k. Was it work the $1500-$1700 I paid? I doubt that, but you should definitely go with some kind of warranty.

Thanks for the help, it's just in a really tight spot I guess, plus doing it after work in dark doesn't help either... Steelers look pretty nasty, going to be a fun couple of weeks of football. take it slow

Hey- Trying to replace the low beam and high beam lamps on the passenger side of my '01 OB Wagon (legacy). I'm not a huge dude, there is not a hole lot of room in between in the air intake and that grey plastic cover that protect the lights. I can get the cover off, but it's difficult to manipulate the bulbs in that space and I don't want to touch the bulb part with my bare hands. Any tricks? Do I need to deal with the tight space or is it smarter to unbolt the air intake? Any suprises I should be aware of? Also- do I really need to replace BOTH lamps? Neither appear to be working, the high beam appears to have shattered, does failure in the high beam cause the low beam to not work? I ain't super technical and am somewhat likely to screw this up. Generally very entertaining for my neighbors AND want to get this done on Saturday so I can watch the Pats whoop up on Peyton "abnormally large forehead" Manning on Sunday, again, but this does not seem worth paying someone to do. Thanks for your suggestions

Had a recent bad experience w/ Jiffy Lube as well- they changed the oil on my 01 OB wagon just fine, but re-used the "crunch bolt" (?) they pulled out of the car to drain the oil, so the seal was not good. Resulting in leaks, stained driveway, bad smells, angry wife, general distress. Not good, not fun. Finally brought it to the dealer, they fixed it by changing the oil. Could be a source of the mysterious burning oil smell I've seen discussed in the past.
