Yes, normal yun as per M.I. Advised. Cold start may vibration and better Antayin mo mawala yung icon na blue "it means" Malamig pa si boxer engine bago ka mag shift to D . Haha

Same here, so tinanong ko na bat ganon and bago kami mag test drive ng forester search/check muna ng reviews from other forums. So far sulit ang Subaru and boxer engine tipid siya Dahil sa new tranny lineartronic. Our first Subaru car, though under observation pa din kasi Hindi pa nakaka abot ng 1600k.

hi guys!
I've been driving my forester xt for 2 weeks already.
earlier today i checked on the hood and noticed that the coolant level is above the LOW level.
i didnt check if that was the original level when i got the unit. should i refill it or just leave at that level?

thank you!

[baker123]

any suggestion where i can buy crossbar for our fxt? im planning to put a thule on top for travel.

shouldnt be a problem as long as it doesnt go below the low level.

Question lang po mga sirs. Talaga po ba malakas sa LANGIS ang forester? Unit po is 2.0il, 9k na natakbo. Nakapagdagdag na ako ng 2 1/2 liter ng 5w 30 since nakuha namin. Lagi po kasi nag wawarning yung oil sa instrument panel. Nag start po umilaw yung warning light wala pa po 1600 (1st pms). Sensor lang daw po sabi nila nung una. Pero nadadalas na po at pag checheck ko oil ay malapit na sa low level. Salamat po mga sirs.

P.S.
Kung may post na ganito ay pasensya na po at hindi ako nakapagback read. Salamat po uli.

Hindi yan normal sa kahit anung sasakyan na kumain ng oil ng ganyan karami.

Yung iba nga 10k km interval bago magchange oil pero ni minsan hindi nagbabawas ng oil.

[K1elers]

*docwin sir , balik mo ulit sa M.I since under warranty pa si forester. Hindi normal yan sir.... Then update us .

Sir Docwin,
may update na ba sa casa kung ano yung problem?

[Docwin]

Hello sirs. Sorry for the delayed reply. I know most of you are in suspense about the oil consumption issue. Ganun din po ako. Just had my 10k pms this morning. They replaced the oil level sensor which kept the oil level warning lighting up. The SA said that it was damaged. The SA also said that the techs could not find anything wrong on why there was oil consumption so what they'll do is to email the concern to their bosses in Japan. I asked him to also send me the reply of their boss. I mentioned that everyone in tsikot is waiting for the update. Hopefully they will answer back. By the way, the SA mentioned that mine was the 4th case of having such concern (though not with a Forester. I think those were brz or wrx if I recalled it correctly).

thank you sa update doc!

btw, recently ive been driving windows down and i noticed a "hiss" sound (sounds like air leak) on my front wheels whenever i pass on uneven road or humps. normal lang po ba yun?

I just would like to ask all FORESTER base model owner here, I am in a dilemma of choosing between the XV and the base model of the Forester. How is the fuel consumption of the base model of Forester compared to XV? I really would prefer getting the base model of the Forester sana, but I am just worried because of the bigger and heavy body of the Forester compared to the XV baka kako very significant yung difference sa fuel consumption. TIA.

[K1elers]

Forester NA owner here. Mas okay yata ang fuel consumption ni Forester NA dahil sa new tranny na gamit niya. Alam ko same engine sila ni XV for NA. wait natin yung iba na FORESTER owner.

[Nicotoy]

Same engine and transmission on the XV and the base model Forester. I think the base forester is only 60kg heavier. So if space is your main priority, go for the forester. If it's fuel consumption, the XV should has a very slight edge.
