Hi I am new here and a new owner of a WRX
Hi my name is Eric and I just did something I thought I would never do today, I bought a 2003 WRX and I am loving it even under 4k RPM’s. Anyway I am coming from a 2002 SS that was heavily modified and I used it for ¼ mile racing and autocross on Sundays. I needed a better commuter and weekend warrior than my Camaro. I have a ton questions about this car and to be honest know very little about imports (let alone turbo cars.) To start off my basic list of questions I am looking for some basic information on maintenance (best oil to use, when to change for the first time, etc.) Also I am looking to see what you guys think is the proper break-in for these cars? Last I am a huge fan of free mods and was wondering what the common free mods were? I apologize if you guys get this type of post of a lot, but I haven’t been able to come across information that seemed to be consistent out there on the net. Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you all.
Sincerely,
Eric, proud owner of a Silver WRX and my first import

break in period
I listened to the owner's manual and kept the car under 4,000 RPM for the first 1K miles. Remember to let the car warm up to operating temp before engaging the turbo and always let the car idle down before turning it off (if you've been on the turbo). I had similar questions when I bought my WRX and I ran a search on the site and found a ton of info. This site is an excellent source of info. Enjoy the new ride.
