On an '06 Outback Wagon, how offen do you need to rotate the tires? The booklet says every 7500 miles. Is that right? I rotate my tires on my Honda Accord every 10k miles accordng to the manual, which I also think is a little high. Can I just rotate the tires on the Subaru every 10k miles too?

According to the booklet, examples of severe driving conditions: - Repeated short distance driving - Driving on rough and/or muddy roads - Driving in dusty coniditions - Driving in extremely cold weather - Driving in areas where road salts or other corrosive materials - Living in costal areas - Towing a trailer

I have a '06 Outback Wagon and I have been following the maintenance schedule listed in 2006 Warranty and Maintenance Booklet. Based on the booklet, I should be taking the car in every 7500 miles for oil changes and tire rotations. I also I don't consider my driving to/from work to be "severe driving conditions". The wagon now has 15k miles so I was going to take it in for its second service. So the question is - is 7,500 miles between oil changes okay or is it too long? The first and last time I brought the car in for service, I felt like the place was pressuring me to bring it in every 5,000 miles.

My wife and I are looking at '05 Outback 2.5 i limited but supply is really low in the northeast and we can't get the color we want. So we are going for the '05 Outback 2.5 i. The only thing I will miss is not having the sunroof. Can a factory sunroof or an aftermarket sunroof be installed in the 05 Outback 2.5i? Thanks, Paul
