2022 Subaru Forester Maintenance

When it comes to your Subaru Forester, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Forester. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Forester maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2022 Subaru Forester!

Subaru knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Forester's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2022 Subaru Forester problems later.

Bring your 2022 Subaru Forester to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Forester's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2022 Subaru Forester be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Subaru Forester battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Forester stranded. Your Subaru Forester won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2022 Subaru Forester's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2022 Forester. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2022 Subaru Forester.

Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Subaru Forester's steering system with regular maintenance.
