I use this stuff on my forester and it always feels much better afterwards. I might give it go on the 5.

apparently with either the design and/or metallurgy, the Subaru "boxer" engines' intake manifold builds a layer of deposits rather easily, more so than conventional in-line engine manifolds.
Subaru dealers spray in a can of this stuff every minor service.

Hmmmm.... maybe this is part of the reason why a lot of new cars' manifolds are made of plastic?
