Will it hurt my Subaru Forester to drive with old spark plugs?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Subaru’s recommendations.

What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Subaru Forester?

Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Subaru Forester. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.

What do hard starts and stops do to my Forester engine?

Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.

How often should I clean my Subaru Forester fuel injectors?

The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use.

Tune-Ups to Help Your Subaru Forester Run Better

Is it time for an engine tune-up? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, now is the time to work on that habit, especially if you drive a 2008 Subaru Forester. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Forester’s engine. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy. When you get routine engine tune-ups based on Subaru's recommendations, you invest in your Forester's long-term health and engine performance.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Subaru Forester

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 2008 Subaru Forester. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Forester. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your Forester's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Keep in mind that your Forester's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. If you’re not sure what services are the best fit for your car, let us help! Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.
