The 60,000-mile interval is one of the most important for your Subaru's long-term health. It includes all the services of the 30k interval, plus critical drivetrain and ignition system maintenance. This comprehensive service is key to preventing major repairs and ensuring your Subaru runs smoothly for the next 60,000 miles.

Why This Schedule Matters for Your Subaru
Subaru's engineering is precise, and following the factory maintenance schedule is the single best way to keep it that way. Here’s a brief look at why these intervals are so important for your vehicle.
- Foundational Care (Up to 30,000 Miles): This phase is all about setting your Subaru up for success. Regular oil changes with the correct type of oil are paramount for the health of the Boxer engine. We focus on consistent tire rotations to protect the AWD system and thorough brake inspections to ensure your safety.
- The Critical 60,000-Mile Checkpoint: Arguably the most significant service interval. By this point, original fluids in your differentials have been working hard, and spark plugs are nearing the end of their effective lifespan. Proactively addressing these components now is a direct investment in your drivetrain's longevity and your engine's efficiency.
- Ensuring Longevity (100,000 Miles and Beyond): A high-mileage Subaru is a common and wonderful sight. As your vehicle crosses the 100,000-mile mark, our focus shifts to long-term preservation, addressing key fluids and performing meticulous inspections to catch any age-related issues before they become significant problems.
