  1. I have a 2008 Subaru legacy limited 2.5L AT. I'm planning on draining the transmission fluid and adding new stuff http://www.amazon.com/SUBARU-AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSION-FLUID-BOTTLE/dp/B00FA2AD5U/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1416421234&sr=1-1&keywords=subaru+atf What I can't figure out is how much Fluid I would need to buy in order to satisfy the tank. I can't find in the manual how much the capacity is or online at the current moment, it only tells me how to check the levels and what brads to buy, maybe I keep skipping over it, if so I apologize for wasting time with said question. I was wondering if anyone could tell me? Greatly Appreciated
  2. Well guys I figured that all the tires even though I have two different brands, that I'm doing well. I'm running 3 Yokohama's P205/50/R17 88V. And the one Bridge stone is the same only the weight Capacity is "93". The problem my mechanic found that the sealant was wearing down due to corrosion. I mean it looked like snow white, mixed in with a little blue, but I hear this is due to driving over time and that stuff gets into your tires and it's normal. So my mechanic took off the wheel, cleaned out the inside of the tire, cleaned out the sensor, and also cleaned out the rim (He did this to the right rear tire, which the tire pressure had run all the way down to 14 PSI, when I checked it myself this morning 0.o' ) He then checked the tire pressure on the other tires and they were fine. So long story short, tire pressure light came on, checked the tire pressure, tire was all the way down to 14 PSI 0.o', Came to the Ultimate Subaru forum to get some great advice and reassurance, then brought my baby to the mechanic and he fixed her right up. The dreadful light has disappeared from my life for hopefully a long time. Thanks a lot for keeping this newbie calm and letting me know that I'm not having some catastrophic failure guys. Great to know that I joined a great family dedicated to loving their cars and maintaining them well as well as helping others gain knowledge about them.
  3. Now I looked over the car with my mother and we test drove Nala (Her name, yes yes i Know. Childish, but Lion King will always be a part of my life lmao) and she ran great. She had a loose heat shield, which caused a slight racking noise, but the dealer fixed it right away before selling it to us (Sales person was really nice and very straight forward. Dealer had a really high rating with BBB, and my neighbor just bought a brand new Audi from the same dealer). I had a mechanic I trust look over the car and he said everything looked good to him. Tires, engine bay...etc. Now...Would you find it to be odd that a used 2008 Subaru legacy sold by an Audi dealership, has 3 Yokohama tires and one Bridge stone tire (Front right). And not even a full week later, the tire pressure monitor light goes on? I mean my mechanic and I both looked over the tires, and saw that the tires had plenty of tread, almost like brand new tires. Can't believe we didn't see that the tires had different brands. Now the sales person said that the car was previously owned by a girl who went to MIT, and that she took really good care of it. Clean Car fax, no visible wear, no quirks with the car, literally felt brand new. She took the train to school and left the car at home, so that's why this 08 has lower miles than an average car would, so maybe she caught a flat and then replaced it? The only thing that is getting me is the two different sets of tires 0.o' and the Tire monitor light are on a car I Bought less than two weeks ago. I was thinking of Calling the dealer and bringing it back to have them look at it. I'd rather tell me I have a flat or something after looking at it, instead of me assuming. But to my recollection I haven't run over anything that would cause a flat, or cause the tire to start losing air. But in this life, freak things happen. So what do you guys think?
