2017 Subaru WRX STI Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Subaru's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Subaru WRX STI? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your WRX STI’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your WRX STI is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my WRX STI's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Subaru WRX STI’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Subaru. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Subaru WRX STI? Yes. Subaru WRX STI transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
