I just bought a 05 WRX CMG, so far I love it but what I want to ask you guys is are those ground wires really worth the cost? And if so which brand should I be looking into? Furthermore when is the ideal time to do the first oil change?

Thanks in advance

 

Congrats on the new Subie. I did my first oil change at 1500 and I'm glad I did (the oil was very dirty).

i did my first oil change on my 05 at 900 and then again @ 3000

 

congrats on the new ride. I did my first oil change at 1000 and the second about to happen at 4k.

 

did first oil change at 500, then again at 1000.

 

Have fun and be safe. Dont try to take any hardcore turns until u upgrade the rear sway bar, the car will pig straight into it.. i had to learn the hardway! but overall i couldnt be happier with the vehicle, and i think its well packaged for the price.

 

thanks for all the info, yea im still babying the car, i only have 220 miles so far so i still got a while away

 

I dont buy the hype of grouding wires... if a problem exists first, they may bandaid it but thats about it. My car got oil changes at 250miles, 500miles, 1k, then 3k... and 3k from then on. Subuaru doesnt use breakin additives, so you can do it whenever you want.

Stick with dino (fossil) oil for the first 5k, then make the switch to Synthetic.
