Servicing Guides + Oil Query


tigerstyle

Recommended Posts

Wondered if on this forum, looked but couldn't see one, there is a step by step to servicing our Legacys? 

Pictures of where filters, drains, plastic covers are etc etc? Jacking points, do's and don'ts, basic stuff  I know but anything Legacy specific that  new owners like myself might not know? 

 

Related: Saw this link in another thread for cheap Castrol, is it a suitable grade for a 185,000KM 2 litre?

Sorry, didn't know they made 2.0 Turbos, it is dog stock 2.0 NA

That oil is fine but prob on the expensive side for a stock 2.0. Magnatech 10w40 prob more in line or something like that.

As for guide on how to do it. Heaps on YouTube or maybe ask a local club sub member for some help?

NA BP Legacy is very easy to do oil change on as there no plastic covers over the filter or bung. So just jack it up and everything is there.  The front jack point is the CV from memory and then I just put jack stands under the chassis rails.  There are jack points under the skirt, but you will probably crush the plastic skirts if you put a jack stand under them.

 

And I use 5w-30 Magnatec.  From memory that is the recommended grade in the service manual though 10w is also fine/in spec (recommended for hotter areas from memory).

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
