Now that you are the proud owner of a new Subaru Forester, how do you keep it running at its absolute best? It’s not too difficult, especially when you have the friendly faces of Bud Clary Subaru’s Service Center to help you along your way. While the maintenance schedule for a Subaru vehicle will depend on the specific model and year of the vehicle, some general maintenance items that may be recommended by Subaru include:

  1. Regular oil and filter changes: Subaru recommends changing the oil and filter every 3,750 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first, for vehicles with conventional oil. For vehicles with synthetic oil, the recommended interval may be longer.
  2. Tire rotation: Subaru recommends rotating the tires every 6,250 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. This helps to ensure even wear on all four tires and can help extend the life of the tires.
  3. Brake system inspection: Subaru recommends inspecting the brake system every 12,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. This includes inspecting the brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels, as well as the overall condition of the brake system.
  4. Engine air filter replacement: Subaru recommends replacing the engine air filter every 25,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first. This helps to ensure that the engine is getting a sufficient amount of clean air, which can help improve performance and fuel efficiency.
  5. Transmission fluid replacement: Subaru recommends replacing the transmission fluid every 50,000 miles or 48 months, whichever comes first. This helps to ensure that the transmission is lubricated and functioning properly.
