100k service on a BP outback

[funkytown]

Hey guys,

i have the service manual for our ez30r and thinking about doing its 100km service myself - shouldnt be to hard right?

Is there anything im missing on this list..??

*Upper Engine Cleaner

* Engine Coolant

* Brake Fluid

* Air Filter

* Pollen Filter

* Spark Plugs

* Fuel filter

* Engine Oil

* Oil Filter

* Rear diff fluid

* Auto box fluid

* Front diff fluid

given its chain driven i see it pointless doing any of the front belts, and cambelt not required obviously

I think you can reset the autobox ecu too, which a dealer will have to do.

Anything missed?

Suggestion on which brand and spec for the fluids is welcome

dont bother reseting the auto ecu unless you are having shifting problems, resetting the 5speeds requires a trans shift relearn. And dont forget the 5 speeds take transmax E and I would do a trans filter too.

[funkytown]

yer it IS having shifting issues. Oh good idea on the trans filter change cheers.

Waterpump maybe???

[funkytown]

hmm i was under the impression they lasted 200k. I can ask the shop.

They will sit behind the timing chain wont they? so cant change with out removing the chain overs, chain and all that guff?

[DRFVDR]

I would change the serpentine belt

which is what now?

[DRFVDR]

the front drive belt the one that drives the alt/powersteering and shit

[funkytown]

oh yep, could do that as well, manual says inspect - its probly f all $$ wise to replace im guessing

A waterpump on a H6 is a huge job, its only replaced when it leaks which isnt very common. I would only replace the acc belt if its cracked, Its a wof item anyway so it gets checked every 6months .

[funkytown]

Cheers caged.. Two things to not worry about..

What is the front diff, auto box and engine fluid capacity?

[funkytown]

Just quoted $50 a pop for spark plugs, iridiums they say are what's recommended. .Is that taking the miss or what? Do I have alternatives?

Cost me $1300 to get my 100k done.

thats what they quoted me for the dealer to do it - im picking i can do all but the transmission reset / relearn

[GorGasmSpecB]

Plugs were $50 a pop from Subaru.

Platinum/Iridium will last around 100kms. You could user coppers but you would need to replace them about 4 times in 100kms.

[funkytown]

halkjdshfajdsaf.. that sounds like daylight robbery

[DRFVDR]

Whats the number on the plugs i could try my plug guy

oh and dont forget to replace the depleted uranium

[nt_a_foz]

Dont you run platniums or iridiums in your sti funky??

They are up their in price also..

Suppose H6 has 6 as opposed to 4 ...

If you not paying retail they are MUCH cheaper lol

[funkytown]

i run a set of 'cold' coppers in my STI believe it or not haha

less cost up front and no issues of binning them when / if they get 'soiled'.

if your not paying retail then hook a dutchey up! ;D

[slystiguy]

got my sparks for 35$ just so ya know, an was told that was rip off goto butler or try find someone with a trade account somewhere.50$ is way overpriced

[funkytown]
