Every time the auto stop…
Every time the auto stop/start activates I am reminded of my concern for the wear and tear on the starter motor as well as the engine itself. When an engine stops the oil pump isn't pressurizing the lubrication system. On start up I wait for the center screen prompts to complete before shifting into a gear to avoid loading the engine without adequate oil pressure lubricating moving parts. Saving a little fuel at the expense of wear on major mechanical assemblies doesn't seem like a good plan. Subaru owners buy long term, not lease or short term purchases and start/stop systems are concerning for vehicle longevity
