Peace of mind
You might be pretty handy with tools, but service isn't just changing oil and filters. Modern Subarus are complex machines; there are many mechanical and perishable parts that need inspection and servicing at the right times if you want your Subaru to keep driving like new. The boxer engine type also presents unique service requirements, especially in the area of upper engine maintenance. Take it to a specialist Subaru service centre, and you have peace of mind, knowing you can pack the boot and head off in any direction you like, knowing you'll get there relaxed, and with all your cargo safe and sound.Log book service value for money
There are many reasons why Log Book servicing is the best plan for a long term owner: Because vital consumables, such as belts and hoses and tyres, are kept in good condition, you will get reliable relaxed motoring; Because your engine is kept topped up with clean oil and the upper cylinders are regularly de-coked, you will get greater fuel efficiency; Because the Subaru log book schedule is well planned, you won't be paying for over-servicing; Because brakes and steering are properly maintained your vehicle will always be safe to drive;. Finally, when the time comes to sell, you will get a higher price and your car will be easier to sell.Turbo & non-turbo servicing complexities - traps for the inexperienced
Many general mechanics are not aware of the different servicing requirements for turbo Subaru models, such as Liberty GT, Impreza WRX, Forester GT, and Impreza STi and diesel models, and we field many industry questions on the different requirements for these models. Turbo petrol engines are subjected to higher stresses and temperatures than normally aspirated engines and high-compression diesel engines have their own unique needs. making coolants and lubricants especially critical for both these engine types. Currently there are six different recommended engine oils, five different gearbox and diff oils, and fifteen different Subaru models with differing requirements. The introduction of the EE20 diesel engine has also produced many new service and repair complexities with very strict fuel and oil specifications. The new generation FA20 and FADIT and FB25 petrol engines all require 0W20 oil. There's a lot to keep track of, and only a specialist Subaru workshop is abreast of all the variations. Note that mistakes made in selecting lubricants can drastically shorten the life of your engine or transmission. See our oil and lubricant recommendations page.Protected new car warranty
