Tune Into Your Subaru Legacy

Is it time for an engine tune-up?

Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Legacy. Tune-ups give your engine a boost in efficiency, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy.

Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Legacy. 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 Legacy's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A For 1990 Subaru Legacys

  • Will it hurt my Subaru Legacy 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 should I do if I see leaks under my Legacy? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • What do hard starts and stops do to my Legacy engine? You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.
  • Where can I have a Subaru Legacy tune-up done? At your local Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our technicians know how to service, maintain, and repair Subaru Legacys.
  • How often should I clean my Subaru Legacy fuel injectors? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Subaru owner’s manual for exact guidelines.
