Ah, ST Eye, sorry, I posted my response before seeing yours. Well, maybe someone can check the Impreza TSM and find the equivalent.
For those that have the Impreza TSM, I found the instructions in the Outback TSM in the "Body Section" --> "Instrumentation and Driver Info" --> "Combination Meter System". Within that section, there is a "Dealer Customize Mode" sub-section that I posted above. Hopefully, something comparable has been published for the Impreza. Who's got a TSM and can look this up??

To those of you who replaced your 5MT transmission fluid and rear diff fluid with Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90:
I'm about to do this job myself (my Amsoil order just came in). The service manual says to use Three Bond 1105 on the rear diff drain and fill plugs, and to install a new gasket on the tranny drain plug. Did you guys do this? The closest Subie dealership to me doesn't even stock the Three Bond product in their parts department. |

Should be covered under warranty, IMHO. My dealer attempted the "original" solution that did not work at no cost to me (3k miles). I'll have them look at it again, when I have the time - I do the Oil Change and Tire Rotations on Saturday and all they have for staff on Saturdays are limited to those that can support those activities. Anything more exotic requires a week-day appointment when the "Pros from Dover" are available.

Those instructions sound similar to what the service manual states, but the service manual states this applies only in certain models, can't remember the term for it, but basically it works on Canadian models or similar with the more advanced dash LCD screen. But for our models there should be a way for the dealer to do it with the computer hooked up to the car. They did it for me & it can be adjusted in 5% increments.

Okay those with the Ivory interior... how is it holding up? Stains or just dirty yet? Any advice on if there's a product to keep it clean?
Edit: Looking at a 2012 Impreza for the wife. |

Keeping Ivory interior clean
No problems here with the ivory interior - spend a few bucks ($5 or $6) on Scotchguard for fabrics and any mess quickly cleans up. I've had my Impreza since January and sprayed the entire interior - seats, door panels, etc. on the first day I got it home , and no problems. I would advise doing it late in the day, when your not going to use the car till the next morning. Leave all windows open and try not to breath the fumes. Let it dry overnight and you'll be fine

One great tip: for all of the HARD plastic surfaces like door jams, center console, etc., a damp "Mr. Clean Magic Sponge" makes all of the plastics effortlessly look like new, even textured plastics. |

i can't say mine with that much precision (haven't used highway markers, but instead been using google maps), but i'm definitely a bit over 3% based on my samples of longer drives.

presumably one could using a hiking/running GPS which can track distance travelled. i've been too lazy to do this (i actually have a hiking GPS) but i should try it at some point.
but i'm convinced enough based on google maps and prior cars on known routes that my car is roughly 3+% off. my mileage computer is off 5% the other direction so in the end, i just sort of believe my mileage computer maybe mentally dropping it 0.3mpg and call it a day. the good news, i guess about the underpredicted odometer is the fact that the car will be lower mileage years from now! |
