Subaru Outback Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Subaru Outback?

Throughout the time you own it, your Subaru Outback will need to have regular service to ensure it remains in top condition. A mechanic can also check for your vehicle's problems during each checkup that might need to be fixed before they get worse. Automakers have their own precise recommended schedules for service that are located in the owner's manual. Your Subaru Outback maintenance schedule is tailored to your vehicle based on its model year and trim level. When the time is approaching for recommended maintenance, call us to schedule an appointment.

6,000 Mile Service

Most Subaru Outback service intervals begin around 6,000 miles. Your car will need light maintenance at this point. Along with making a few adjustments, a Subaru-trained mechanic will give your car a detailed physical inspection to make that parts such as the brakes and tires are in good shape. The tires will be rotated and inspected around 6,000 miles, and the engine's filter will be cleaned or replaced. The oil will likely be replaced at the first Subaru Outback maintenance inspection.

12,000 Mile Service

A longer list of services comes at the 12,000-mile mark. At this point, your car's air conditioning filter will need to be replaced. If your Outback has disc brakes, they will need to be inspected and possibly changed at this point. A Subaru technician will look at the braking system components, including the axle boots and the axle shaft joints. The brake lines on your Subaru will be checked, along with the braking system in general. Your mechanic will check the suspension system and steering components. Finally, the tires will be checked and rotated if needed.

30,000 Mile Service

The engine air filter will be inspected at 30,000 miles. The brake fluid will be replaced, and the clutch fluid if you drive a manual. Parts on your Subaru's drive belt will be evaluated along with the engine's coolant fluid, the hoses, and all related connections. The transmission will be checked, too, along with its level of lubrication.

60,000 Mile Service

Your Subaru Outback will be due for another series of services at 60,000 miles. At this point, the spark plugs may need to be replaced. The mechanic will look at the fuel systems as well, along with their connections and lines. The wheel bearings will also be evaluated at this point.
