Your Subaru is built for reliability and performance, but regular maintenance is key to keeping it in peak condition. At Villages Subaru, we want to help drivers in Leesburg, The Villages, and Fruitland Park get the most out of their vehicles. Follow these essential maintenance tips to extend the life of your Subaru and keep it running like new.

1. Regular Oil Changes

Oil is the lifeblood of your engine. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, schedule routine oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your model and driving habits. Using genuine Subaru Oil Filters and synthetic oil helps maintain engine efficiency and reduces wear and tear.

2. Keep Up with Tire Maintenance

Proper tire maintenance ensures better fuel efficiency, handling, and safety. Regularly check your tire pressure, rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, and align them as needed to prevent uneven wear. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system performs best with properly maintained tires.

3. Inspect and Replace Your Brake Pads

Brakes are essential for safety, so it’s crucial to inspect your brake pads and rotors regularly. If you hear squeaking or experience reduced stopping power, visit our service center in Leesburg, FL, for an inspection and replacement with genuine Subaru Brake Components.

4. Check and Replace Air Filters

Your engine and cabin air filters prevent dirt and debris from affecting performance and air quality. Replace your engine air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles and your cabin air filter at least once a year to maintain clean airflow.

5. Keep an Eye on Fluids

Fluids like coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid all play a vital role in your vehicle’s operation. Regularly check these fluid levels and schedule a fluid flush as recommended in your owner’s manual to prevent potential issues.

6. Follow the Recommended Subaru Maintenance Schedule

Subaru provides a factory-recommended maintenance schedule tailored to each model. Sticking to this schedule ensures your Subaru stays in optimal condition. Our Factory Trained Teams at Villages Subaru can help with all scheduled services to keep your vehicle running smoothly.

7. Battery Maintenance and Replacement

A healthy battery ensures reliable starts and proper electrical function. Check your battery’s voltage and terminals for corrosion and replace it every 3 to 5 years to avoid unexpected breakdowns.

8. Protect Your Subaru Vehicle’s Exterior and Interior

Regular car washes and wax applications protect your Subaru vehicle’s paint from dirt, debris, and harsh Florida weather. Additionally, cleaning and conditioning your interior will keep it looking new for years to come.

9. Listen for Unusual Noises

If you hear any strange noises like knocking, grinding, or squealing, don’t ignore them. These sounds can indicate potential issues that require immediate attention from our Factory Trained Team.
