When cold and humid conditions are just right, I get misfire cylinder #3. Moved ignition wires around and the fault stays with cylinder #3. If coil fails, can it be just 1 cylinder or is there usually a crossover/share? No sparkle light show if I spray water in the area. If replacing, is there a reliable alternative to SOA at ~$120?

will add this to "sticky" thanks for the heads up

I tried to find this link earlier. Is there a sticky for this information?

OK you, here is what I found watching 1 A Auto video: Lug nuts 89 ft lbs wheel bearing bolts 47.9 ft lbs axle nuts 177 ft lbs brake caliper bracket 47.9 ft lbs brake caliper 19 ft lbs

2008 Outback Ltd Anyone have a service manual that gives torque specs for lug nuts, axle nut, rear brake caliper bolts and rear brake caliper bracket bolts, wheel hub/bearing bolts? Always used my wrist to determine "tight as can be" but borrowed an Autozone torque wrench and wanted to compare and calibrate my wrist.

Hey Paul. Thanks for the offer. I measured the dip stick and was able to shove in an additional 10-12". While I didn't know nuthin' 'bout no baffle, initially It wasn't drawing oil so I backed out the line a little and then she started to flow. I assumed it had coiled atop the oil pan as I didn't see anything protruding out the tail pipe. It drained the first ~3 quarts and then said good enough, you take it from here, buddy or as they say in TV land, Better Call Paul 😉 I am guessing that if you can plumb the depths straight down to an oil field, then you are good but if you are poking around in the dark, well, then good luck or as an old timer patiently but doubting said to me, "let me know how that works out!"

el_ that is a question I can't answer. I am baffled. 😉 I am just threading the extraction 3/8" hose down the dip stick tube and wasn't aware that there was any working in the dark necessary. any suggestions or even a diagram of what I am aiming for is appreciated. any chance of f'ing up the "baffle?!"

Will try it on my 08 OB when due and report back for the inquisitive.

FAIL! Not exactly sure how the oil pan is stepped but regardless of how far I tried to place/manipulate the drain hose, it only sucked out about 3 quarts. Sucks... but not enough? And so then I had to wriggle under the car and finish the job old school. Oh, one more thing, what's with the combo handle for the jack where you have to thread the lug wrench through a small handle that engages the jack? OK now get off my lawn.

Thanks Paul, but I feel like I've already been run over 😉

No can do. Bad back (see first post).

just read operating instructions: 【Specificaiton】: Input Voltage: DC 12V; Wattage: 60W; Current: 5A;Motor Oil (40-60 degrees) Flow Rate: approx. 0.8-1.0L / min NONE of the various AZ or ebay listings specify degrees C, F or Kelvin...

I just checked Az reviews. Some love it others suggest it could have burned their house down! Great... another project for the list... rebuild house.

Yeah, checked HF too. Nothing special there. I ordered late yesterday & it will be here tomorrow. Gotta love Amazon/eBay. i feel like these items are already on a truck and half way up my driveway as I hit the order button. Should be easy enough to store rig in a small plastic bin, even smaller than a drain pan. I'll report back on speed of evacuation, maneuverability on snow and ice, etc. on this major investment.

I especially like the ability to drain directly into an old empty bottle.

Herniated discs in back. Postponed surgery hoping for self-heal. Getting better but tried to climb under car to change oil and realized that my ability to get back up was limited. I understand dealerships are relying on pumping to change oil, no lift time, no cross threading drain plugs. Some cars being manufactured without drain plugs? Anyone have experience using something like THIS? Seems like less mess, draining directly into a waste container. No ground time. Filter is on top in the 2019 OB. Won't need to call 911 to get me off the ground.

Bought 2019 OB used last year and was informed of benefit of being able to check for and install auto and infotainment updates in the convenience of my home over wifi. Never worked. Despite strong wifi signal in my own garage. Kept getting message "unable to download, blah blah blah". SOA insisted I visit local dealership. Lo and behold, dealers admit aware of same but that they have latest updates on USB stick so anytime I feel like wasting driving and waiting time, I am welcome to self-abuse myself. Well after months of playing "pitch a b*tch" with CSR at SOA, the engineers actually updated the program and I was able to download and install latest software and subsequently reported that the car has "the latest software installed.' So, good on them that they saw fit to update a 3+ year old car.

too obvious to mention, but start simple. check hoses at radiator/engine for green crusty residue from tired hose clamps and leaks (happened to me causing momentary HG freakout) leaks can burn off on engine without puddling on the ground. did owner ever notice puddling or smells?

FIRST, I like Idosubaru's suggestion to call SOA directly and inquire about TSB and repair. I know that issues like seat belts actually have a lifetime warranty and if you mention that, they might lean towards a "good will" gesture. That particular warranty does exclude electrical components... hmmm. What's the worse case? They say no? Have you seen this you tube video on how to get the sensor itself repaired?
