Subaru Forester Service Intervals

What Is the Subaru Forester Maintenance Schedule?

To stay in top shape and be safe to drive on the road, your Subaru Forester needs to have care throughout the time you own it. Although all vehicles need to have routine maintenance, not all vehicles follow the same maintenance schedule. Below we've compiled a general guide of what types of services you may expect at key service intervals. However, to make sure your Forester is following OEM recommendations, you'll need to follow the Subaru Forester maintenance schedule that comes with the owner's manual.

15,000 Mile Service

The 15,000 mile interval is often one of the earlier critical checkpoints in having your vehicle serviced. Your Subaru may have its tires rotated and checked to ensure they have adequate tread depth. The engine oil and filter should get changed at this point. A mechanic may also give your Subaru a general evaluation with a multi-point inspection.

30,000 Mile Service

The 30,000-mile mark is the next critical interval that your Subaru will approach. Your Forester may need another engine oil and filter change. The engine and cabin air filters may also be inspected, along with the tires being rotated again. Core aspects of your braking system such as pads, rotors and calipers should get checked. The drive shafts, boots, fuel filter and fuel lines will also be worth reviewing by a technician during this service interval.

60,000 Mile Service

At 60,000 miles, your Subaru Forester may get its oil changed once again, along with a tire rotation if necessary. A Subaru mechanic will look at the brake fluid for sufficient levels and quality. The brake drums, rotors, and disc pads should be checked. Both front and rear axles are inspected, along with the Subaru's axle shaft connection. The spark plugs may also be reviewed and changed if they're close to being worn out.

90,000 Mile Service

At 90,000 miles, services will likely be more comprehensive for your Subaru. Many items performed at previous intervals may be repeated here.. Also, parts like hoses, power steering fluid levels, and the timing belt may also be nearing a time of replacement if they haven't been switched yet.
