Sawaddee Krub all Subies Lovers,

My name is Karn krub, I am new to SSS, and I'm very new in tuning cars. I have very few(no) knowledge in how to look after a car properly. I was hoping to get some advice from P' P' krub. I have a White RA-R for about a year now I bought it second hand @ 2700 Km in AUG2009 now it is @ 7500 km, and I haven't look after the car properly. All I have done is changing the engine oil and the oil filter krub. I don't really want to ask the shop because they might just tell me to change everything and I would have no idea if I really have to change it or they just want to change everything. I would like to ask P' P', about what I have to look at, and how often krub. For example, Gear Oil, Brake Oil, Air Filter etc. etc. What to do and not to do? What brand to use, and not to use? And any other information will be very helpful krub. The car is very near to STANDARD, standard engine, turbo, inter-cooler. Only changes are Exhaust Pipe, Spark plugs, and air-filter (now กรองเปือย) and reflash to octane 95 sohol.

I know people here have a lot of knowledge about how to look after a car properly. I'm stupid that i have a good car but I don't know how to look after it properly. But I think SSS is a good place to start learning, and its the place where P' P' can give me good advice. I hope its not too late.


Thanks all P' P' in advance krub.   emo57o

Welcome to SSS krub Karn,

Congratulation krub you have such a great car that almost everone would dream of however great car needs good and regular maintenance like others.

I will give you some basic idea about how you should look after your gem. (others might have some different approaches)

For maintenance wise

1. Check you oil level regularly and change it every 5000-7000 Km (make sure you use good synthetic oil with recommended grade for Subaru, it should be 10W-50 or 10W-60) everytime you change your oil, make sure oil filter is changed.

2. Check your water level regularly, and everytime you change your water make sure you blend water with radiator coolant.

3. For gear oil and final drive (เฟืองท้าย). my approach is that every secend time I change my engine oil or every 10000-14000 km I would change gear oil and final drive oil.

4. Clean your air filter regularly. for me I do it every month.

5. check your brake pads worn often whether they are worn out or not. if can't see them at the caliper, you might look at brake fluid level too if it is near Min level then you should find new pads. (don't compromise with worn out pads it will never be worth) everytime you change your pads it's better to change brake fluid and make sure you use at least  DOT 4 or DOT 5 brake fluid because it better suits your car.

That is just a very basic maintenance guide that you should do it regularly.

For performance wise

If I were you I would do nothing with the car and just keep it clean and well maintenanced because RA-R is quite a nearly perfect car in my opinion (after drove my friend's car few times). just learn how to control it until you can make the most out of its performance and you will be surprised how much this car can do.

Good luck krub
