Hello everyone, I'm new here & I'm a proud daddy of 2 Foresters ( Just got my 2nd). My 03 Forester XS was purchased with about 130,00 just about 4 years ago and it still runs strong & looks good too ( see the pic) but, it has some issues I'd like to ask if anyone has experienced. 1st it looks like I have an oil leak emanating from my oil cooler & oil filter area, I worked at a quick change I know the filter is tight. I went ahead and got a new oil cooler gasket ring and replaced it and it seems like it didn't help. I also noticed that oil is starting to seep from my head gaskets. I lose about half a quart of oil every few weeks or so, depending on how far I drive. 2nd When I start her up it feels like the entire engine shakes like all heck, could be the exhaust but still not sure I know it didn't do it the first 3 years. 3rd is a question, What weight of oil do u guys recommend? I've heard some guys using 5W40 full synth in their Subies, does anyone know if this is better than just 5w30 Full Synth? I would really like to keep her running for another few years she's been good to my family and the wife doesn't want her to leave lol. Thank you in advance!
