Glassman Subaru – Recommended Service and Maintenance Schedule for the Subaru Crosstrek

If you own a Subaru Crosstrek, you’re already familiar with the unique blend of capability, comfort, and reliability this compact SUV offers. However, to keep your Subaru Crosstrek running smoothly and extend its lifespan, regular maintenance is crucial. Glassman Subaru, serving Southfield, MI, West Bloomfield, and Farmington Hills, is committed to providing excellent service and expertise to ensure your Crosstrek remains in top condition. Regular maintenance not only helps retain the vehicle’s performance but also enhances safety and ensures you get the most out of your investment. Here’s a general maintenance guide tailored for Subaru Crosstrek models, although it’s always wise to refer to your owner’s manual or contact our dealership for specific details related to your model year.

To keep your Subaru Crosstrek in peak condition, follow these recommended maintenance guidelines:

Oil and Filter Change: Every 6,000 miles or 6 months. The engine oil keeps your Crosstrek running smoothly, and regular changes prevent buildup and maintain engine efficiency.
Tire Rotation: Every 6,000 miles. Rotating tires ensures even wear, which can extend the life of your tires, improve performance, and maintain safety.
Brake Inspection: Every 12,000 miles. Regular checks are essential to ensure safety and responsiveness. Replace brake pads as needed, usually when the thickness is below 3mm.
Cabin Air Filter Replacement: Every 12,000 miles or annually. This ensures clean air circulation within the cabin.
Engine Air Filter Replacement: Every 15,000-30,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. A clogged air filter reduces engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Coolant System Check: Every 30,000 miles. This includes checking for leaks and coolant level, ensuring the engine remains at the optimal operating temperature.
Transmission Fluid Check: Every 30,000-60,000 miles. Monitoring transmission fluid condition can prevent shifting issues and extend the system’s lifespan.
Spark Plug Replacement: Around the 60,000-mile mark. Worn spark plugs can affect engine performance and fuel economy.
Timing Belt Inspection/Replacement: Every 105,000 miles or 7 years. A critical component, the timing belt’s failure can lead to significant engine damage.
