EJ25, choices for some replaceables,air filter etc etc

Post by fredsub » Thu Oct 09, 2008 1:37 pm

Whats the popular choice of brand for replacing
  1. Air filter
  2. oil filter - ok got the subaru brand;),oil change done.
  3. timing belt, hmm i thinks there is another brand sold at the auto supplies....
  4. alternator belt
  5. bottom radiator hose
  6. fuel filter, hmm actually i don't know where it is:o...
  7. spark plugs
  8. replace the timing belt tensioners or is it the idlers that get replaced? anyone know what $
  9. What other serviceable components is there to replace ?
  10. oil pump ?
  11. water pump ?
Engine has done 230,000km. O2 sensor replaced when i got the OBW, not 2 years yet.

If this looks like a list of all the parts for a service, it is.

I wonder about oil/water pump too, but its not like the engine is overheating or anything, its running quite well, probably should leave that alone.
However there is a bit of a burn't oil smell after a drive, I'm suspecting oil seeping out of the RHS rocker cover and onto hot exhaust, can't be much as it's not measurably loosing any oil.
When I bought the OBW, the dealer had already done a service job on that RHS rocker cover.

If ya know what $ for list items, please chip in thanks, like to know what my spend$ will be, hate it when i'm not prepared for what $ over the Subaru counter:???:

thanks
