kenzoil replied to kenzoil's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
so it looks like there is no written shop manual like a haynes, etc to be found? -

do any members out their have common specs, like wheel nut tourque? plug type number, etc? seems like someone in our website would have info on common questions. -
Hello all. Besides subaru's on line pay for info website, where can one get written (or cd) material on repair and maintance for a 2015 Forester? I can't even get a Haynes manual for the car. I can't even fine simple things like road wheel torque for bolts or anything....Thanks for any and all help.

does anyone know for sure if Valvoline 0W-20 is a group III or IV group oil? and Keith, how do you feel about conversations on the web, of Pennzoil additives settling out of the oil to the bottom of the jug? Heard they tell you to shake the jug up before dumping in the engine, but then what happens with these additives settling out in the engine or oil pan? Comments??

because I am new to subaru, which has the inverted oil filter on top of the motor....my question is, are there any particular steps to follow when refilling the oil in the car. In a conventional hung oil filter, I would always prefill the filter first, then screw it on. I suppose there is no way around starting the engine with a brand new DRY filter.....

Owners manual says 0W-20 for non turbo engine, like mine. There might be a listing to use 5W-20 under harder driving conditions, I will have to check. Does anyone have an opinion on the brand used? I see some use Castro, others Valvoline (little wear additives in their product), and most say not Mobil-1.

I plan on keeping the car, and driving it into the ground, as I do all my vehicles. I saw mobil-1 has concerns for using oil consumption issues. I was going to try Valvoline synthetic, but I hear it does not have a lot of additives to prevent wear. Any thoughts? The penzoil platinum maybe an answer....
