The car has 103K on it. There is no white smoke and it doesn't overheat. Oh and the oil did not look milky. It was really black, but definitely not milky.

I changed my oil on my 93 Loyale (EA82) and when I took the oil to Autozone for recycling, the guy said there was water in it. He said I had a blown head gasket. But my car is not using coolant, no white smoke and runs just fine. Is there any other possible explanation for this?

It engages in the middle of the travel. I guess I need to replace it

Hello Subaru Gurus, I have a 93 Loyale FWD and it appears the clutch is on the verge of needing replacement. It isn't to the point that starting from a stop the tach outpaces the speedometer. However, at highway speed, if I try to abruptly accelerate, the tach then begins to move with no change in speed. The car has 103K miles on it. The Subaru dealer said it is recommended to be replaced at 100K. Does it sound as if I should replace it or is it a cable adjustment? This car has never left me stranded on the road, so if it is advisable to replace the clutch, then I will do so. I trust the advice I get here more than the dealer or any shop.

Funny thing, that was exactly what I was telling the local Subaru dealer when I took my Loyale in for some work. I don't need a Mario Andretti car.

I dunno. When I look at it, the first thing that comes to my mind is the center of the grill trapezoidal section where they mounted the logo. For some reason my eye catches that section and I see a DAEWOO:

I changed the oil on my Loyale today and noticed that the right front cv joint boot is leaking grease.The boot has completely seperated from the inner clamp. How difficult is it to repair this? I can get the whole axle assembly for about $100 from an online store, but my Hanes manual says that in order to remove or install the steering knuckle requires special tools. Has anyone ever done this before or should I just take it to a shop and have the work done?

On my 93 Loyale I can get 36 MPG on the highway and about 30 in the city. All I did was replace the rotor and plugs. Does anyone know what the rated MPG is supposed to be on a Loyale anyway?

Thanks for the info.

I have a 93 Loyale with the EA82 enigne and manual. I cannot find the specification for the type of fluid the transaxle takes. What kind of fluid do I use? How often should I change this fluid?

Wow. This is right up my alley. Now that I know what too look for, I am certain I can fix it myself. Thanks!

Is there a Subaru Loyale out there that still has a working clock? Mine has been dead for a few years. Where is a good place to get a replacement?

Thanks. I guess my Haynes manual is wrong. Where can one get the correct information for erasing the stored errors?

A while ago, the check engine light came on in my 93 Loyale and I looked up the code and determined it was the EGR solenoid. The part was over $120 at the dealer. As it was an emissions part, I haven't replaced it. The engine runs fine. Should I spend the money to replace this part? I pulled 3 of them from juners at a pull an save junk lot but they all appeared to be bad as well. I know this because after I installed each of them I reset the computer by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it. After a while the code came back. It doesn't appear to be a critical part and it is very expensive. Are there any bad consequences to the engine if I just drive it with bad EGR solenoid?

Yes, you are correct. Thanks for pointing that out!

Hello there. Can I aska dumb question? I am new to this forum and was reading the discussions about EA81 and EA82 engines. I have a 1993 Subaru Loyale 4Dr Sedan. I have the 1800 engine with TBI and DOHC. But I don't see anything where it is called EA81 or EA82. Or does this have nothing to do with my engine?
