1996 Subaru Impreza Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Subaru Impreza, 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 Impreza. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Impreza maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1996 Subaru Impreza!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Impreza's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1996 Subaru Impreza problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1996 Subaru Impreza for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Impreza’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1996 Subaru Impreza. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Impreza may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Subaru Impreza battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Impreza stranded. Your Subaru Impreza could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1996 Subaru Impreza engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1996 Impreza. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1996 Subaru Impreza.
