How often should I come in for Subaru WRX STI differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What causes a WRX STI’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your WRX STI has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you reset your WRX STI’s malfunction warning light at home?

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 concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my WRX STI?

A drivetrain malfunction in your WRX STI should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my WRX STI drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your WRX STI is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
