Thought PMS is every 10,000 kms or 12 months? ...

I think that’s VW?

The VW diesels are 15k km or 12 months whichever comes first. I think the new VW gas cars are those that follow that.

If within warranty, it is every 10k KM or 6 months. After warranty, you can do it every 10k KM.

What interval do you follow bro?

Do you base it on time or distance or when you just feel like it?

I do it every 5k kms regardless of the time factor. Or 1 year regardless of the distance factor.

And of course, synthetic. Either rotella or red line.

I’m still within warranty and I follow the 6-month PMS cycle. In those 6 months, it’s between 6k to 7k km.

My other car which is out of warranty, I change oil every 12 months which covers around 10k km.

Both my cars require fully synthetic, low viscosity engine oils.

I see. Thanks a lot bro!

Also, the old EJ seems to run better smoother and quieter on 10W-40 oils.

The FA20DIT requires FS 5w30 API SN-RC (ILSAC GF5) with 5w40 as an alternative viscosity. The FB20 (non turbo Foresters and XV) requires FS 0w20 with 5w30 as the alternative.

question regarding our FXT, if from a long drive around 200 km (3 hours, tplex-sctex- nlex- edsa) can we immediately turn off the engine once we arrived at our destination after engaging into park mode? or do we need to cool down first the engine for a few minutes( idling) ?

After a long drive or a blast through the highway, you can run the car gently the last 10-15 min before you reach your destination. This will help cool down your turbo and you can safely turn off the engine upon arrival.

Let it idle for a few minutes to cool the turbo. Assuming you have the current gen FXT, it comes with a turbo gauge. At idle, boost pressure should be -0.70 to -0.74 bar. After a long drive, let the engine idle until it reaches that stable idle boost pressure.

Do any of you know where I can get Rear Shock absorbers for my 2010 Forester 2.0X? Wala pa kasi stock sa fusionR

[tsik_r2d2]

Thank you for all the replies. Much appreciated mga sirs..
Subaru agent advised me that the discount is now back to only 200k (might get reduced even more as the year ends).
I wonder why considering that the New Fozzie will be coming soon.

Because if they tell the potential buyer that there will be better discounts / deals in the coming months, they won't have sales for the current month ... Sales agents will basically say anything just to make a sale or meet quota ...

Assuming you replace the rear shocks with stock auto-levelling function with the usual KYB Excel-G, the rear end may drop lower than the front so you need to adjust the springs to compensate the drop.

JP Wheels in Paranaque can provide a solution of properly using KYB shock as stock replacement. It was discussed within SFX FB community.

Thank you Istan and Egan101,

Right noe, I have this problem. When I go 30-45KPH and I let go of the accelerator, I feel as if the car is braking slightly on it’s own for a while then it starts to go normal again. Any thought on this?

I have no idea how the old tranny of the previous gen Forester behaves. Besides, why let go of the gas pedal at such speeds? Are you crawling in EDSA traffic?

I let go when I see incoming traffic and in smaller roads
