Subaru Legacy - Video tutorial

Model: Subaru Legacy MK 5, BR, BM - Years 2009-2014
Part: Oil filter
Operation: Engine oil and oil filter replacement

Place the car on a lift and remove the plastic cover under the engine. Unscrew the drain plug in the center of the oil pan and collect the used oil in a container of suitable capacity. Once the drainage is complete, screw and tighten the cap again. Then move on to replacing the oil filter located between the exhaust manifolds: apply oil to the gasket of the new filter before screwing it on. Finally fill the engine with new oil according to the quantities and SAE specifications indicated in the use and maintenance manual.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
