At the 12,000-mile mark, your Subaru Outback will require a more comprehensive check-up. In addition to the services performed during the regular maintenance intervals, our technicians will:

Major Milestone Service: Every 30,000 Miles

Every 30,000 miles, your 2024 Outback will require a major milestone service. This extensive maintenance appointment includes tasks crucial for preserving your vehicle’s performance, longevity, and resale value. During this service, our technicians will perform the following:

• Change the transmission fluid: Fresh transmission fluid helps ensure smooth and precise shifting while protecting the transmission from wear and tear.
• Replace spark plugs: New spark plugs help maintain optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency.

On top of the regular maintenance intervals, it’s important to consider seasonal and condition-based maintenance for your 2024 Subaru Outback. As the seasons change and driving conditions vary, your vehicle may require additional attention to ensure optimal performance and safety. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind:

• Winter preparation: Before the cold weather sets in, have your Outback’s antifreeze levels checked to prevent engine damage because of freezing temperatures.
• Summer readiness: Prior to the hot summer months, have your air-conditioning system inspected to ensure it functions properly and keeps you cool on the road.
• Tire care: For optimal safety and performance, regularly monitor your tire tread, wear, and inflation levels, especially when preparing for long trips or off-road adventures.

Adapting your maintenance routine to the changing seasons and driving conditions ensures your Outback is always ready to tackle any challenge.
