WRX Fluids Flush Did Not Go as Planned

The WRX has some miles on it, so to keep things fresh it needs a rear-diff fluid change, transmission fluid change, and oil change. And what normally should be a pretty simple job...of course, it takes longer than it needs to be.
We run into stuck fill plugs and a huge mistake on my part during the process...but we got it done in the end. If you enjoy this video, be sure to subscribe!

Concerning the oil spill - we've all been there at one time or another. Props for not just admitting it but actually documenting it! I slightly overfilled my vehicle with oil once. No problem, i'll just loosen up the drain plug and let a little out. Unfortunately, it was one of those plugs with a super strong magnet and it stuck to the side of the pan when i was trying to thread it back in. On top of that i had not waited long enough for the oil to cool down adequately and toasted my fingers as well.

I triple check now, haha. I actually switched my plug since I took the car on the track. Thankfully that spill wasn't in my own garage though and it was easy cleanup. Dang, some of those magnets are pretty strong. Ha.

This is a crazy good business idea. Could definitely see myself taking advantage of this!

[@nolanmarketti]

It’s amazing. The guys that run it are very chill/good guys.

absolutely loving the series, giving us all hope that used wrxs can in fact still be driven and not blow up 😂

[@nolanmarketti]

Heck yeah man!

[@AidanLynch208]

Loving this series as a GR owner myself! Helpful to see the things I might need since its the same car!

i think you can just use a 1/2 ratchet for the back diff for future reference

[@nolanmarketti]

You can use that in a pinch. The square is 13mm. 1/2 to 12.7...so it's slightly smaller. On cars where maybe it's not torqued over the moon or rusted out...it will probably work. If I kept with the 1/2 it probably would rounded out the square.

Look Ma, I made it! 🤣 Glad you got it done man!

[@nolanmarketti]

I thought we weren't going to get it done...but the torch helped. Lol
