Also you can disconnect the dropping resistor beside/behind the battery,
check and change the ATF,
remove the campaign filter,
bypass the factory ATF cooler in the radiator with an aftermarket one.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Swapped the badly-chipped wing on my '94 Pearl with a much cleaner one from a '92 Pearl I found in the U-pull yard yesterday and got for $25. The PO had touched up the big chipped spots on the wing (which were 2-3" in size) with about a 1" paintbrush and who knows what kind of paint, and it looked horrible. I'm thinking of having all the black areas repainted anyway, but I figure I'll make back the $25 just on labor to prep the original one!

I only went WOT once, and went over 3k maybe 4 times in total over the course.
At the end of today though I will have traveled over 100 miles. Back when I was just going to and from work 10 miles round trip per day, I was getting 16, 17 if I was lucky, and 14-15 during the winter due to warm-up idling and cautious traffic.
