  • How much can I tow in a Subaru Outback? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small.

  • Does my Outback's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Subaru Outback transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
