Protect your Subaru Legacy (2014-2019) VI generation (BN) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, crafted from 2 mm thick steel. This robust protection serves as a mechanical shield for your engine, oil pan, and transmission, safeguarding these vital components from damage caused by road debris and obstacles. Think of it as a formidable shield for your oil pan, ensuring durability and reliability on every drive.

| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
This skid plate offers comprehensive coverage for the gearbox, engine, and rear differential. Its design incorporates reinforcing ribs and strategically placed ventilation openings, ensuring optimal airflow for cooling while maintaining structural integrity. Additionally, service access openings facilitate quick maintenance, allowing for easy oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
This protection shields against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of costly repairs. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the factory points on your vehicle without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring a hassle-free setup.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
