Is there any advantage to using this product to break-in a new Subaru 2.5L Boxer engine?

I wouldn't use any liqui moly product especially ceretec until break-in is over. Things need to wear and in the right places. After 10,000 miles then maybe. Refer to the owner's manual for specifics concerning driving habits and oil change intervals during that time.

Hi Vernon, The product is designed to reduce friction on cold start up in order to prolong engine life. When one first starts their engine after sitting overnight most of the oil is in the sump (oil pan). It is not pressurized for a split second. This is when an estimated 60% -70% of internal engine wear takes place. The Liquid Moly clings to the upper bearing surfaces and piston cylinder walls more so than regular engine oil due to it's composition. This product is widely used by BMW Dealers in their vehicles. Most benefit in my opinion occurs on an engine at around 10000 -15000 miles on the odometer. Why? Because the engine has started developing it's internal wear patterns. Microscopic scratches are 'filled in' with the super slippery ceramic coating thus reducing heat and friction at those contact points. The product is drawn to high heat friction areas by molecular attraction. - I am an advocate of allowing new engine bearings and friction surfcaes to 'seat in' (old school). In short in my pinion, and I am sure many will disagree, I would wait until you have around 10K to 15K miles on your new vehcile. Does the product work? Yes. - Please also read my review on 'FriktionTek' which I am convinced is a better option for a higher mileage engine (70K to 100K miles). But it is very pricy at $179.00 per tube on Amazon. I have used both. On your new engine, I would wait until all the bearings, valves and pistons have seated in first.

Hi Vernon. Please read the technical info from Liqui Moly. It states "In new vehicles, Cera Tec supports engine break-in and protects against excessive wear."http://www.liqui-moly.com/liquimoly/mediendb.nsf/gfx/315F4856B709C6E3C12573B000545958/$file/TI%20Cera%20Tec%20oil%20additive.pdf

I believe it will work because it's engine specific. It's worth a try and if not you can always return

It gives you more air flow and it creates a cyclone effect. I put this onto my 95 Chevy with the 7.4L and went from 8mpg to 18mpg. I also added a split port and have 2 cone filters.

It's not necessary, but you will lose a little bit of power down low. If you're throwing a CEL, you need to run a defouler for the o2 sensor. I would recommend a tune (eventually), but you should still be ok.

Yes, But...........If you are careful you will not. It is very easy to do,if you are mechanically inclined.Why are you doing it with the piston at top dead center.?????

Yes, the less restrictive design helps the engine run smoother and more efficiently. I'm not sure how much of a difference, but it will help.

Yes you can. It is the suggested coolant for Subaru beginning went to this Super Long Life blue .

I'm an old mechanic who learned his trade in the 50's and 60's and back in those days a new engine required a break in period. Being that your vehicle is very new, I would call your Ford dealer and ask if it requires a break in period as MotorKote may prolong that time and effect the performance of your engine. If it does require a break in, once you pass this time, you can use it in your Mustang. That is unless Ford uses seals that may be affected by this additive. Your best bet is to ask the people at Ford if they recommend it. But to answer your question, you can use MotorKote in anything that requires lubricating oil.

I dont think so, I'm sure its not designed for it. i doubt it has enough power anyway its a one cylinder engine. I've nearly gotten stuck in shallow sand,as it just tends to dig itself in.

I don't know much about jeeps but ignitions are pretty much the same so i'll tell you how it helped me ; i've got a 1296 triumph spitfire 4cylinder with mild work done to it ; higher compression ;headers and quad carbs so i added the MSD to my pertronix ignition and widened the gap on my spark plugs and the car starts right up and runs much smoother at idle right through top end i would say go for it.

Depends on what benefits you are looking for. It will sound really nice in your car. You will be able to hear the turbo "whoosh" a lot louder. Make sure you take the air box silencer off if it has one :) Performance wise, you won't really see a significant difference with out a tune, and even with a tune, intakes don't provide much performance boosts. I have this in my Legacy GT and I bought it for the sound and I needed to replace the stock paper one haha. Hope this helps!

Maybe letting more air in will increase mpg slightly but it's mainly for adding power. Sounds awesome and u feel the car pull more.

I'll tell you this the difference being only a few dollars considering this product is in the $10 range I wouldn't bother trying anything else. I'll admit I've never tried any other product, but 2,200 mile after the first use I still see a node improvement in the fuel economy and have the smooth acceleration. I'll he sticking to the every 5k recommended use. Hope this helps

I borrowed one an have used with success on my 1999 Lexus RX300. I could not get the torque free app to work though, and ended up using Piston app on android tablet, works well with that one.

In most cases but not always you do not need one. As long as your engine is stock and you have no airbox mods

I have a 2000 ls 4x4 and I noticed no improvement with hp or mpg, however it was a nice replacement for the cheap autozone intake I bought the truck with. And it makes the engine bay look very clean, took about 1 hour to put in and was really easy. I would recommend this intake over any other unless you still have your facory box

I am not familiar with the Subaru engine, however this unit is not vehicle specific and may be universal. I have used it on Volvo's, Ferrari's, Fiat's and Hyundai's.
