Might want to edit this thread if you ever want to sell that car on here.

What truly amazes me is that your part of an enthusiast car forum. My hunch is, you didn't buy the car, it was a gift.

lol @ african.

Yeah, I drive heaps and yeah, I new it needed a service... I just got damn lazy.
Last week I thought to myself 'this car is losing a bit of power... better do something about that'.

I bought the car over an SS... it's a damn fine car (still runs well without oil). I'll highly doubt I'll ever sell it. Even though I have neglected her this year, I love her to bits (and pieces).

Anyway, I chucked in some oil last night so I can get down to Supercheap to get the stuff I need for a service and give her a drink of Shell Helix Ultra. I'll also do the transmission today.

Any suggestion on oil for the transmission (which is available from Supercheap if possible)?

Oh, and the oil light came on as I turned into my driveway (which is an incline) not while I was driving so I doubt I damaged the engine.

Make sure you replace the oil filter with a subaru one. Also i would buy 2 bottles of oil and run one thru for a week and then do another oil change with new filter.

40000km is awesome! hahahah Should ring subaru and tell em.

In fact i think you should just top up the oil and see how long you can go without servicing it!

I just used a ryco filter last time. Maybe that's why I got 40k out of her.

Also the Air Filter was dusty as... and I still had power! Gotta love Subaru.
