Some people say you need to change oil+oil filter every 5000 kms, but if you don't drive it hard ALL the time then maintenance wise is pretty straightforward for a performance-oriented car.

I spoke to a service manager at an STI centre before and asked him this same question before and was told that for normal driving (and provided you don't use some cap ABC kind of oil) the normal 12,500 kms service is enough - as modern oils are made to last to this amt of kms anyway.

Bro, what about d fuel consumption of these WRX ? assume that engine internals are stock standard...

Here's some official figures http://autoweb.drive.com.au/cms/A_53...wsarticle.html based on a 2001 model.

My experience will be different but possibly similar, on a stock setup, with a stock ECU, you should be able to get an average of 300-350kms on a full tank - in a city driving environment with lots of start stop traffic.

Unfortunately I can't help you with highway kms as I've never done that yet - maybe someone else can. I'm quite sure also that a stock setup runs a little rich.

300-350 kms in city driving for full tank ? that's great..i'm impressed... a wiralution of a friend of mine will go only 280kms max...

Well this also includes longer weekend drives that have less traffic but doesn't include the "feel like wanna tekan" times. :D

my scooby, i seldom calculate..
if dont always leg itchy go full boost,

then it just like a perdana v6 fuel consumption..

Oderf · 07-29-2005, 08:34 AM

that's clear enuf about the fuel consumption. My conclusion is WRX eat less fuel than Evo in stock std. Correct me if i'm wrong.
