Can Subaru drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

How often should I come in for Subaru Legacy differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is my Legacy malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Legacy’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the Legacy malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Legacy?

If your Legacy has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my Legacy drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Legacy includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Legacy forward.
