What to Know About 2002 Subaru Impreza Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Subaru Impreza to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Impreza has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Impreza maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2002 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. 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Impreza running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2002 Subaru Impreza problems.

Overview of Essential Subaru Impreza Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2002 Subaru Impreza and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Impreza's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2002 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Subaru Impreza battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Impreza) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Subaru Impreza won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2002 Subaru Impreza's engine run smoother. See Subaru's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2002 Impreza in the chart at the top of this page. 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 can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2002 Subaru Impreza.

Routine upkeep for your Subaru Impreza suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Subaru Impreza suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Subaru Impreza's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Subaru Impreza maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Subaru Impreza engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Subaru Impreza? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2002 Subaru Impreza maintenance and repairs.

2002 Subaru Impreza Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 2002 Subaru Impreza. Get answers to common Subaru Impreza maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have Subaru Impreza alignment checked? Watch out for pothole damage. If your 2002 Impreza is pulling to one side or the other, your tires or suspension system could be calling out for help.
  • When should I switch my Subaru Impreza to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Subaru Impreza engines.
  •  Why are my Subaru dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Subaru Impreza in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
