To keep your Subaru performing at its best, staying on top of routine maintenance is important. Regular service helps prevent small issues from turning into bigger problems. It can also improve your vehicle's fuel economy, safety, and longevity. Here are some of the key maintenance items your Subaru needs regularly.
Oil and Filter Changes
Engine oil is the lifeblood of your Subaru, lubricating and protecting critical engine components. Over time, oil breaks down and gets contaminated, so it needs to be changed regularly. Consult your owner's manual for your specific Subaru model's recommended oil change schedule. Generally, conventional oil should be changed every 3,000-5,000 miles, while synthetic oil can last 7,500-10,000 miles between changes.
Tire Rotations and Wheel Alignments
Having your tires rotated regularly helps them wear evenly, prolonging tread life and improving handling. Tires should typically be rotated every 5,000-8,000 miles. You may need a wheel alignment to restore proper angles if you notice uneven or rapid tire wear. Proper tire inflation is also key.
Brake Service
Your Subaru's brakes are critical for safe driving. Over time, brake pads and rotors wear down and must be replaced. Warning signs that your brakes need attention include squealing, grinding, vibration, or a soft brake pedal. Have your brakes inspected at least once a year to check pad and rotor thickness.
