My 2017 Subaru WRX STI Sport

[usmanminhas5]

Hi There,

It reduces a little bit of oil every 3-4K Kms. Sometimes it doesn't reduce any oil for 6-7K kms. It basically depends on my driving pattern. I had been driving it in a more "civilized" manner for the past few months since my parents were over .

However, now that they're back in Pakistan and we've entered boost friendly weather, my current boost gauge history shows a peak boost of 18 PSI

I change oil every 10K so in order to be on the safe side and keep the oil levels up to the mark, I get it checked and topped (if required) more frequently than I probably should.

As per Subaru, this is expected behaviour. Most of my friends who own certain Audi and BMW models experience similar engine oil consumption. For example, my friend's BMW 535i in the picture below needed 1 quart of engine oil roughly every 6-9K Kms.

Very nice thread indeed.. How is breaking and handling in snow like this

[usmanminhas5]

Thanks, nawan885 and I’m glad that you’re enjoying the thread.

Braking is good and I don’t really have to do engine braking.

Handling is on par with some of the best AWD vehicles that I’ve driven. Subaru’s Symmetric AWD and Audi’s Quattro are considered two of the best here (in this class) from what I’ve heard.

For more extreme conditions, I use multi-mode DCCD (Driver’s Control Center Differential) settings in Auto [+] mode. DCCD allows me to adjust handling by adjusting the differential locking. It does so by altering the torque distribution to the front and rear wheels. In Auto [+] mode it keeps more power upfront for increased traction. Auto [-] keeps more power to the rear wheels for tighter cornering. I can also experiment with 6 step manual mode for custom handling characteristics but I haven’t felt that adventurous lately

Just came up this thread.....MashAllah beautiful black beast you got....hope its serving you well
.
I am sucker for hatchbacks and love the hatchback version of the WRX....however if i had to choose between the hatches in market i would buy the Ford Focus first ...... then the WRX hatch too, and keep em both (just my view/choice)

well serial killers dont just tail cars & then leave , tell yur sis that

[usmanminhas5]

Thank you @taim00r

Flat 4 with unequal header is music to my ears
Yes, it still has the stock BPV (bypass valve as opposed to a Blow Off Valve).

I plan on keeping it stock until the warranty is up. That’s when the real fun will begin

[usmanminhas5]

Thanks for the nice words, @sleeper.

Alhamdulillah, It is serving me well as my daily.

Some people find the ride too hard specially on summer tires but I haven’t regretted my decision even once since I bought it 2 years back

A friend has a WRX hatchback and it is really nice.

Ford Focus RS owners do try to race every now and then but I usually ignore them because those things are QUICK!! (And I’m no racer)

[usmanminhas5]

Well hello there!

Good to see someone local here.

Ping me if you’re ever around Richmond Hill/Markham and have some time. We’ll grab a coffee

[usmanminhas5]

Thanks!

[sleeper]

Please share some pics of that WRX also if possible

[usmanminhas5]

Sorry but I don’t have any pics of that WRX handy. It is my friend’s winter car and pretty much stock.

I’ll post pics when and if I find any

[usmanminhas5]

Not the best weather to get a ceramic wash but oh well...
