I would check and tighten all fuel hose clamps, this fixed the same problem I found under the hood, usually between the engine and the fuel filter or supply lines.

heavier oil if you are not in a cold climate. but before you do that have the oil pressure checked. We used to use a can of STP every once in a while on a motor in a dodge we had... nothing wrong with it... was just noisy.

SOURCE: Is there a timing belt or chain in a 2004 Subaru

The 2.5L engine has a timing belt and it should be replaced at 105K. The 3.0L engines have a timing chain and are not serviced regularly.

The compass on my 2002 Subaru Outback is about 180 degrees wrong--It just started.

check for any sources of magnetism near the compass, speakers, phones, mobile phone accessories etc, there could be something in the glove box, empty the car of anything likely to have a magnet in it and check the compass again.

2000 Subaru Outback Wagon (100K miles) with P0420 Code

I do not know for sure if this is the problem you are having, But, I have noticed that from 95 up to 2002 I have seen a lot of PO420 codes that have been just the sensor. I do not know if it was a weak sensor or just that program telling it that it is below threshold. I did notice that if the vehicles are run for a long trip at highway speed it goes out. I wish you luck and have a great day.

2002 Outback air condistioning

Look at your fan. You either have a weak fan clutch or if its electric you have an electrical fan problem. You need to see if the fan is running strong when it overheats. I am assuming you have checked your coolant.
