Be careful of the Gates timing belt kits as they have been reported as using Chinese bearings now. If it has the 2.5L engine the preferred head gasket is the Subaru Turbo Multi-Layer Steel one 11044AA770. Not sure if it works for the 2.2L or not. Some have reported that FelPro Kits have had the Subaru OEM ones but your mileage may vary.

Part is available (I2) 51600FC101 (or other superseding part numbers dealer will use VIN to determine correct one) Around $400 though. http://parts.subaru.com/p/WHEEL-APRON-COMPLETE-REAR-RIGHT/49502852/51600FC051.html May be possible to cut offending part or section of from pull and pay yard and weld in, but again depends on how bad the area is rusted

Helicoil would work since that bolt is loaded in shear. I've had good luck drilling out and using a tap. Helicoil kit is probably $30-50. Tap is probably less than $10. Caliper Bracket is $25 from rockauto.com http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,1994,legacy,2.2l+h4,1430385,brake+&+wheel+hub,caliper+bracket,1714

I'm not an engineer and my exposure to the EJ engines is limited to my own vehicles. That said I lean towards what is specified in my OM. All of my cars have over 200K miles so I use high mileage synthetic and OEM filters. I change my oil at 5k miles simply because it's easier for me to calculate when it's due next. I must say there isn't a more discussed topic on most car forums that engine oil/filters. The nice thing is we can each do our own thing and it has no impact on others. My opinion is mine and I certainly have no expectation that anyone will change their oil change habits based on what I say The experience of others that work on these cars every day is certainly worth listening to IMO.

I had a similar code on my 03 Forester. I put in a used one from same MY Forester from the pull and pay and it resolved the issue. I'm not sure if the 08 models had any funky stuff like a Body Integrated Unit that talks to the other modules? Mine was under the center instrument panel, below the radio.
