2013 OB engine failure @ 3000 miles - Page 7 - Subaru Outback

Now, where are you going to break it in? West is cold. East is hot. South is confused. North is North.[/QUOTE]

Well, besides the 85 mile round trip commute to work have a road trip to Lebanon, Pa area next few weeks. That's about 750 miles round trip no layover.

As soon as it warms back up, I am on the road to Padre Island. A nice long smooth fast drive and slow pace fishing.

Good deal, efmall! Really happy to hear and good to know Subaru took care of you. I wonder if SOA reads these threads ... I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

I did get accessories such as the rear seat protecter, all weather mats, door side molding but these are same as the other OB was fitted. They did install the window rain deflectors as I had weathertec's on the other but could not remove them without power to the vehicle as they fit in the window channels. The subie ones do look better also!

Had a two hr commute in the snow today, normal time of 45-50 minutes. The OB did just fine!

I've been following this thread since day one.

You got the best outcome that I've could have hopped for you to get...GOOD FOR YOU! And good luck.

Well, got back from the 775 mile PA trip and the NEW OB ran flawlessly! With just over 1500 miles on her now we are halfway to the critical zone...
Ran into snow on 78, noted several accidents but, took my time and felt secure.

Gotta rave on the heated seats! Even when it's not cold in the car it's great therapy on the lower back on a long drive.

Went to Cabela's in Hamburg... Wow! 250,000 sf of heaven!!!!!! I recommend it highly

Yep, 250,000 sf -- but it seems much smaller, because half of it is camouflage gear.

...the best part is the huge fresh water aquarium,

I always wanted to go to Padre Island in my jeep.. but at 13mpg on the highway.. it was not fesable. Now that my outback gets 26 on the highway I can afford to make a road trip lol
