3.6r

Hi everyone, looking to this forum for some real advice. I purchased my used 2012 Outback 3.6r in August 2020 at 119k miles. I am a college student and finally saved up some money to get the car and was super excited. I also drive ALOT. Since I got the vehicle in August the odometer now reads...

When replacing the PCV Valve, just thread it back in or do you put on teflon tape, anti-seize, or some other thing I don't know about. Thanks in advance.

Hi All! I'm new to the forum and curious to know if anyone has any suggested upgrades to make this Gen 5 a little more unique? I love the 3.6R Touring pack but want to personalize it a little more than how it sits right now. Alternatively, is there another generation that is better suited to be...

Hi all, first time caller, long time listener. I am looking to buy my first Outback (upgrading from my current 2006 Forester that has been a gem). I have been looking between two cars today that I could use some opinions on: 2018 2.5 Limited, 44,000 miles CPO from a Subaru Dealership for...

It seems that all the O2 sensor discussions I can find on the forums are for older models or 2.5l engines. I have a 2011 Outback 3.6R with ~ 160k miles on it. The CEL, traction control, cruise control, and brake warning lights all come on together at random intervals. Sometimes it can go for...

It is with a heavy heart that I bid adieu to Subaru. I have sold my 2015 Outback 3.6r and purchased an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport AWD. I had a hard look at myself in the mirror and asked myself if it was worth it to add: XRT tune Raptor headers LP exhaust Soundproofing CarPlay head unit (BTW...

I have aired my gripes with the car here openly in the past . . . but there are also many things I love about it. I took the family camping along the Mojave Road/Trail for Thanksgiving last week and it was glorious. Pulled a 1900lb pop-up camper and a roof box full of stuff. Two adults, two...

Has anyone seen, done, or heard of a manual transmission swap into a 2015-2017 outback 3.6r limited? I’ve looked into different swap options like a 2015 wrx or a older 3.6r outback, possibly a legacy. Let me know!

Anyone pump out the fluid from a TR690 (the CVT on the 3.6R or WRX) to do a complete flush? I'm thinking the transmission cooler at the front is a good spot at the same time not a fan if air becomes trapped in there forever (thinking unlikely). I wish the service manual would label which one is...

Does anyone know if the performance chips you can buy actually work for a 2019 3.6r OB. Such as Chip Your Car or Performance Chip Tuning?

I planning to take my vehicle for a beach drive. However the one of the requirement of ORV Cape Cod adventure, is a full size spare tire. Where can I buy them for best price (rim + tire) for an 2018 3.6R ? I would mind using simple steel rims too. Also if any one has been through this Cape...

Good morning everyone. Last month I started this thread discussing if & when to do a cvt drain & fill service. I mentioned in the thread I would have my dealer perform a drain & fill on my next service appointment and I would send a sample of the fluid to Blackstone Labs for analysis. I had the...

Hi all, long time no posting. I am sitting at 62k kms on my 2015 Outback 3.6R LTD. I have 18k kms or 17 months left in my extended warranty - then you'll see a bunch of dumb questions from me regarding mods. Until then - what should i be pushing to get checked out at my next service in 6-8...

(Go easy on me) For those that lifted their 2018 or 2019 2.5 or 3.6 Outback wagon what did that do to your gas mileage / what is it currently now? I have a 2017 4Runner right now and while I enjoy the power the new job has me commuting quite a bit. I'll be doing the occasional trip into the...

I am coming to you in desperation. This past summer, we threw the rod bearings in our Tribeca. I decided to replace the block plus a great many other things. My wife loves her SUV and we plan on keeping it for a while. This of course has been a major job with more delays and issues along the way...

I have a 2012 3.6R that has typically ran really well. Recently replaced a cracked coil on it, and over the weekend had a new issue pop up. We were driving on the highway at about 70mph and it just "hiccuped" like it downshifted almost and then jumped back up. It was on Cruise control, but...
