How often will I need Subaru Legacy differential service?

Can my Legacy malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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.

All About 2022 Subaru Legacy Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Legacy's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Subaru, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2022 Subaru Legacy, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Subaru's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Subaru Legacy Drivetrain Repairs

Your Subaru Legacy may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
