Since the question was about a fiber washer I forgot to mention that on my Camry the fiber washer got stock to the oil pan after the second oil change (year 2004). It is still there! No leaks! Sam

I once tried to leave the old crush washer in. It did not leak it POURED. I switched to a copper one and stll using it. Probably for 15 years by now. A month ago I bought a crush washer from a dealer for my new Forester and they charged me $1.20. What a rip off! I did not use it, because I bought another copper one. So far so good! No leaks. Sam

rock auto has very inaccurate database. You will get more troubels than you gain anything. Sam

Be carefull with rockauto!!! Their database is very inaccurate... Sam

They have mostly newer generation Subarus. No Loyales there... Sam

Flush - NO, drain and refill - YES.

Beware!!! Rockauto's catalog is very inacurate!!! Sam

My coolant is leaking through the heater core. But the whole expantion tank is of course too much coolant to not notice it dripping on your legs. Try to do a compression test. It should tell you the conditions of your head gasket. Good luck, Sam

Three times I received wrong stuff from them. Since I am in California: three strikes and you are out. No more rockauto for me! Sam

rockauto's catalog is very inacurate! Beware.... Sam

I beleive it is M8x1.25, like garry said. While in the store get few different sizes Good luck, Sam

Follow your exhaust manifold. It is right before the mufler. Good luck, Sam

I am pretty sure that the drunk driver that crashed your garage door was driving Kia. Sounds like a Kia attack on Subaru. Let us know what you decide. Good luck, Sam

See if the idler spins freely. (A sprocket mounted to the engine body.) That what broke mine. Sam

From the original post: 60 and 30 is too high. You guys keep buying from them! It will end up you paying more: they sent me wrong parts THREE times! Charged me for shipping... Good luck, Sam

Suppose to be: running 0 to 45 (depending on conditions) Once again: rockauto got another victim! Sorry, Sam

I will stop by and see what they have for future, but as of now it is too late to return used hoses to the dealer. Thanks, Sam

I failed inspection in Pennsylvania because of ... bad wiper blades!

I learned the hard way the difference between heater hose and emission hose: they fail my smog test with the verdict - "MODIFIED PCV SYSTEM" Could not find any 5/8'' emission hose anywhere. Had to spend 50 dollars at the Subaru dealer for three foot long pieces. I hope this information will help somebody. Sam

If this is automatic, check transmission modulator. Sam

Open access hole under your spare tire. Rotate your engine clockwise. You will see three lines on the flywheel. Like this: |||. Line up the middle line with the mark on the housing. Check your cam marks now. Sam

Regular channellock will do that. You will loose some ATF, but not much so be prepared to add some. The fluid in the lines will be burnt off in the engine. Do not worry about it. Vacuum is applied to your transmission for gear changes. I do not think you will be able to go far... Good luck, Sam

Pull the hose. It suppose to be dry. If fluid is present the diaphragm is shot and unit needs to be replaced. Dealer's price is around 50 dollars. Good lukck, Sam
