Following a proper Subaru Forester maintenance schedule is one of the keys to ensuring that your SUV gives you the off-road performance and longevity that you expect. At Freehold Subaru, we want to help drivers understand what type of maintenance their Subaru Forester requires, and when, in order to stay in peak condition. You should always consult your owner’s manual for the exact schedule for your specific model year, but here is a general guide of what to expect at certain intervals.
Every 6,000 Miles: Basic Maintenance
The most frequent and most fundamental service will occur every 6,000 miles, or as recommended by your manual. At this time, your Subaru Forester will be due for an oil change and a new oil filter. A tire rotation is also recommended to promote even wear and extend the life of your tires. When you come in for an oil change, our technicians will perform a multi-point inspection to check your brakes, fluid levels, and other components, too.
Every 30,000 Miles: Major Service
At the 30,000-mile mark, your Subaru Forester will typically receive all the 6,000-mile services plus a few extras. At this interval, a technician will check the engine air filter and the cabin air filter and replace them as necessary, ensuring that the air you breathe inside the cabin is clean. This interval is also when you’ll want to have your brake fluid inspected and replaced.
Every 60,000 Miles: Comprehensive Tune-Up
A significant milestone for your Subaru Forester occurs at 60,000 miles. In addition to the 30,000-mile service, the 60,000-mile service often involves replacing the spark plugs, which is crucial for engine performance and efficiency. You’ll also want to thoroughly inspect key components like the drive belt.
