Subaru Crosstrek Maintenance at 6,000 Miles
Every 6,000 miles, you'll want to do your basic service, which is:
- Replace engine oil
- Replace engine oil filter
- Rotate and inspect tires
For a frame of reference, 6,000 miles is roughly twice per year for the average driver. It's very important to schedule this service for your Subaru Crosstrek at the appropriate intervals to ensure that your car is operating on clean oil.
Engine oil performs the vital function of lubrication and temperature regulation. Going too long between oil and filter changes can lead to performance issues and even engine failure.
Every 12,000 Miles
In addition to your basic service, you'll want to do the following every 12,000 miles:
- Replace A/C filter
- Inspect clutch operation
- Inspect brake lines
- Inspect steering and suspension
Also, make sure to have the brake pads of your Crosstrek inspected at this point. You'll know your brake pads need to be replaced if you start hearing a squeaking sound while you brake. This sound signifies that your brake pads have reached their wear indicators.
30,000-Mile Maintenance Visit for Your Crosstrek
The 30,000-mile mark is a big one and includes:
- Replace air cleaner element
- Replace brake fluid/clutch fluid (manuals only)
- Inspect drive belts
- Inspect engine coolant systems, hoses, and connections
- Replace fuel systems, lines, and connections
- Inspect transmission/differential lubricants
Also, do your 6,000-mile service at this time and have your CVT fluid inspected. This will help ensure the proper operation of your continuously variable transmission (CVT). You'll want to have this done sooner if you notice any shifting problems or any surges or movement delays. These could all indicate an issue with your transmission.
Maintenance Needs at 60,000 Miles
Your 60,000-mile service includes your 6,000-mile service as well as your 12,000-mile and 30,000-mile services. In addition, you'll want to replace your spark plugs and inspect your wheel bearings. Changing your spark plugs at this interval is a way to ensure top efficiency and performance and decrease the possibility of misfires in your engine.
137,500 Miles
By the time you've travelled 137,500 miles, you and your Subaru Crosstrek have spent quite a bit of time together. At this point, you'll want to replace the engine coolant to ensure that you and your car have many more miles together in the future. Engine coolant helps your Crosstrek handle every season by preventing overheating in hot weather and freezing in extreme cold weather.
