Hey Folks, I'm new to the Subaru brand. I just started a job as a sales consultant for Subaru and I've been quickly swept off my feet with the company, the product, and the Subaru community! I love it already and can't wait until I can purchase my first Subaru. I'm trying to learn as much as I can from the people who drive these wonderful machines every day. I like my information straight from the source. Any advice/suggestions/constructive criticism is welcomed! Questions are OK, too. I don't promise all the answers, but I'll do my best to get them!

Welcome to USMB. We're primarily into the older stuff around here (you know, budget cars) but a few of us have dipped our toes into the newer cars as well.

And in reference to that, please learn the difference between "EA" and "EJ" series cars.

That way when someone says they have a Loyale you don't ask them if they have a 2.2 or not.

EJ's are designated "Newer Generation" and EA's are "Older Generation" on here.

Just as a warning most of the older Subarus are "uncool" by the new generation because they don't make 300hp+.

But don't be afraid to blow the mind of an old school fan with your knowledge of the oldies (and goodies).

For late model subarus with 0w30 and 0w20 oil and consumption issues, remind the consumer to check the oil often, and consider 0w40 oil
