Should I wait for my Subaru to warm up?
Registered. 30 seconds is plenty to let the oil circulate throughout the engine. Take it easy for the first few miles and you and your Subaru will be fine.
How hot does a Subaru engine get?
Subaru, among others, builds a “flat zone” into the way the temperature gauge pointer works, basically keeping the pointer at 9 o’clock (or a tiny bit below) when the coolant temperature is in the normal range, namely 85 to 100°C (158 to 212°F).
Why does Subaru take so long to warm up?
Management summary: It’s normal for these engines. The 2015/2016 engines seem to come up to temperature more slowly than most other modern engines. One side effect of high engine efficiency is lower waste heat production, plus immediately after a cold start some heat is intentionally diverted to warm the CVT fluid.
What does the new Subaru Outback engine sound like?
Next, I wondered if the new Outback had switched to direct fuel injection. Direct injection is noisy and can sound like anything from a loud static hiss to a close approximation of the sound a diesel engine makes. Nope. No direct injection yet in the Subie 2.5i.
Why does my Outback Outback make a rattling noise?
I noticed a rattling noise (like marbles) coming from the engine upon startup in the morning only. The noise goes away after a few seconds. To me, it sounds like bearings rattling due to low oil pressure, but the dealer says that every Outback and Legacy does this. It has a timing chain, and the engines use 0-20 synthetic oil. Is this normal.”
When did the Subaru Outback Sport come out?

How big is the back of a Subaru Outback?
February 1998: Legacy is the #3 seller in Western Washington. That’s big news for a small car company like Subaru! That’s me in the back of an Outback and there’s lots of room. There’s almost 44″ from the back of the rear seats to the gate. There’s 67″ of flat cargo length with the rear seats folded down.
