Maintenance schedule needed - 2000 obw

Featured Replies

I recently passed the 60,000 mile mark and was checking the owner's manual to see what maintenance I have to do.

 

Well the owner's manual referred me to another document - a Maintenance schedule - which I do not have.

 

I was wondering if anyone could scan one and email it to me? This is for a 2000 obw / Legacy.

If no one can help, perhaps just a simple listing of the items that should be serviced at 60,000 miles.

Subaru webside has it listed all.

In short, replace:

engine oil+filter

ATF

air filter

coolant

spark plugs

brake fluid

Notice that it is 60,000 miles OR 60 months whichever comes first, so it should have been done a year ago. I mention this as I made the same mistake in my 2000 legacy.

If you register on my.subaru.com they will also tell you what recalls have been performed and what are outstanding.

Well. I am not to bad off. THe only thing which is on the list that should have been done that I did not do myself or have done was change the spark plugs.

 

Steve

Might want to also do the PCV valve, fuel filter, and replace the front and rear diff oil.

 

Should also take a look at your your drive belts, not sure when the recommended replacement is for them, but i'm planning on about 75k.

Still good news. I changed the air filter, fuel filter and PVC in the fall. So everything is good except for the differentials and spark plugs. I do not know how I missed the plugs but I have to admit that I would not have thought of the differentials.

 

Steve

Technically, diff fluids are not listed as required items to replace under standard service. I replaced mine at 40000 miles and was glad, there was some metal in them. Synthetic is way to go, peace of mind for 40-60000 miles.
