2008 Subaru Outback Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Subaru Outback and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Outback has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Outback, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2008 Subaru Outback maintenance schedule!

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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Outback perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2008 Subaru Outback problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2008 Subaru Outback for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Outback'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 2008 Subaru Outback. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Subaru Outback battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 Outback stranded. Your Subaru Outback won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2008 Subaru Outback running newer, longer. To learn how often Subaru recommends you have the oil changed in your 2008 Outback, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. 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'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2008 Subaru Outback.

Maintaining your Subaru Outback steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).
