[best Subaru remanufactured engine source?]

I have a 2002 Forester in need of a new engine. The premium to do this instead of installing a used engine, is about $1500, and I think it is worth doing it that way.

 

What recommendations do you have for who I ought to use? I have a quote from Colorado Component Re-builders, and I believe they offer a forum discount.

 

Advice appreciated

Thank you

 

John

 

 

[Synthetic Oil- Weight and interval]

I just switched my 99 Legacy to Mobil One 5w-30 which works fine so far.

 

Two questions:

1. How long a change interval do you think is safe--car is driven mostly on highway with no stop and go.

 

2. Does anyone have experience or advice on the 0-40W weight for winter use? While car is garaged, Cold is extreme in Minnesota

thanks
