Your Guide to 2017 Subaru WRX Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Subaru WRX and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your WRX. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine WRX maintenance. Just follow your 2017 Subaru WRX maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Subaru themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your WRX perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2017 Subaru WRX problems in the future.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Subaru WRX

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2017 Subaru WRX and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your WRX'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 2017 Subaru WRX. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your WRX may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Subaru WRX battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your WRX stranded. Your Subaru WRX won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2017 Subaru WRX running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2017 WRX. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2017 Subaru WRX.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Subaru WRX can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Subaru WRX steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Subaru WRX's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Subaru WRX maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Subaru WRX engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Need a new Subaru WRX radiator? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2017 Subaru WRX maintenance.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.

  • When should I have Subaru WRX alignment checked? You know your Subaru WRX better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving.
