The Subaru Maintenance Schedule: Your Guide to Smooth Drives

To help your Subaru cruise as smooth as the day you drove it home for many years and miles to come, you’ll need to keep up with your maintenance schedule—and one of the best places to start includes the oil change every 7,500 – 10,000 miles. By replacing this fluid, you help lubricate the finer points of your engine, which prevents excess friction from metal parts rubbing against each other, assisting in averting powertrain damage. Also, for high-performance models like the WRX or the Crosstrek Wilderness, the oil helps your motor optimally cool, reducing your chances of overheating.

The next tip involves checking your tires for any damage or balding—and the trick is as simple as pulling out a penny and inserting the copper coin head-first into the grooves. Can you see the top of Honest Abe’s head? Then it’s time for a new set of tires—and we have a few different brands and tread types to help optimize your cruise, from performance-based to all-terrain. While you’re in this area, have our technicians inspect your brakes to help ensure your stopping power and safety remain on point.

For one of our best pieces of advice, schedule an occasional diagnostic test at least once a year. With this quick analysis, our technicians can find and fix hidden red flags before they erupt into serious issues, like resolving a misfiring cylinder that could cause critical damage to your powertrain.
