We're back for a new season of HiLow and our WRX blew up instantly. Are Subarus as fragile as everyone says? Is James cursed? We got to the bottom of what killed HiCar.

    It's so easy to tell when a company refuses to let Donut put their spin on advertising.
  • Jeremaih is literally giving us the old pre-merger donut and I am so glad since I thought the old donut was lost. Please do more stuff like this (and bring science garage back)
  • @shr00m7
    I love it when Donut actually teaches me something. Would love more diagnotistc stuff like this!
  • Quick tip to save the engines: WRX engines don't have baffles in the oil pan, while STI engines do. When tracking a subaru, the oil shoots towards the outside of the turn (towards the head, because of the horizontal layout of the boxer engine), starving the oil pump leading to premature rod bearing failures. It's a quick and easy upgrade to swap out the oil pan for one that has baffles, and it solves the issue (aftermarket, or STI pan). (It's not an issue with city driving, but the long high-speed turns at the track make this mod a requirement to be somewhat reliable)
  • @UrsoTheBear
    This is the best donut video in over a year. I was fully engaged and it didn't feel like a gimmick. Something any do it yourselfer could get massive value out of. Thank you Jeremiah.
  • @GDISCairsoft
    I have never seen an automotive channel do such a fantastic job of blending joking around in the shop with actual education. You guys are putting out probably the highest quality car content on this platform. I'm beyond excited for this season of Hilow!
  • @lavachemist
    Baffled oil pan should be a day zero mod for a WRX, but also the break in miles are a good idea.
  • @MatthiasAI
    this Teardown was freakin awesome! I know this must have been a huge amount of work but I hope you guys do more of these.
  • THIS! This is what the community wants to see bois! I took a long hiatus from watching but with the return of wrenching, mechanic work, and actual motoring content, I'm back for the long haul!
  • @LucasMcDonald
    Came for silly donut content. Got an EXCELLENT diagnosis and explanation. Great job guys. Would love to see more actual content like this. The silliness is still there while teaching something.
  • @boostbarn
    Hey Donut media! Subaru specialty shop here. Definitely need to do a proper break in procedure, and oil changes on a fresh engine. But I noticed you're running an ACL oil pump. Some of them have very sloppy tolerances and tend to build low oil pressure, and take a long time to build any oil pressure on start up! Just a quick pro tip for your next engine 😉
  • @RussellRRocke
    This is hands down the best Donut video I've seen. I found you guys a few months ago and have been binging several episodes and podcast episodes a day. More failure analysis videos please, this was really well done.
  • I love how tired Jeremy looks when dissasembling the motor. It makes you know that he's not just "a host" on the show or something while someone else is doing the hard work, HE'S doing the hard work, with obvious help of a team. But I really like that genuine touch on this videos. Also I love the little camera doing a close-up at 7:55 while Jeremiah's showcasing the sparkplugs lets you remember that there's people behind the show too. Donut Media is by far one of my favourite channels because of the ammount of work people put into this videos, not just the guys that actually show on camera but the people who roll this things and edit them too. Thanks again for everything.
  • @albonthegoat
    I'm not really a car guy, but the way you put together your videos and how well they're made. I find watching for 14 minutes why a car I've never seen before in my life failed.
  • @Joflyer0211
    Absolutely love these kinds of videos, their not just entertaining, but honest to god educational for car enthusiasts. While most of us aren't ever going to completely disassemble an engine for diagnostics, this still teaches you a process and mind set that's useful in less extreme scenarios.
  • @AleksWorkshop
    Can't believe they made the subaru always breaking meme into real life
  • @grim-upnorth
    Thoroughly enjoyed this video, it's a great example to show that you guys aren't just goofing around all the time, and you actually have knowledgeable people doing the real work on these cars. All too often you get front men who are there just for the camera and an army of actual skilled people in the background. Nice to see Jeremiah (in this video) knows his shit. 👍👍
  • Another recommended thing to add is that Subaru recommends you use a higher viscosity oil such as 5W-40 for spirited driving.
