slowlane Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 just past 30,000miles on my wifes 06 lgt wagon 5eat, called a few dealerships in the area to get prices on service got 475 to 540 not including taxes ect ect, sounds like alot for alot of "inspecting" so i figured i'll get all the stuff needed and do it myself on my next free saturday..... so any recommondations on what kind/type of fluids to use, actually what all has to be done, oil and fliter....... coolant( special subaru coolant and conditioners????) rotate tires, clean air filter, new brake fluid, does the rear differential and automatic transmission fluid need to be changed and if so is oem fluids good is there anything better whats the best? spark plugs gapped cleaned, new ones leave them alone??

Inigo Montoya Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Your best bet (since this has come up before) do a quick search for '30k' and also 'fluid change' You should get the results that you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowlane Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 gonna take the car in to get the tranny flushed, i figure why drain out a quart or 2 of old fluid and leave in the rest of the old stuff.... there is a service place near here that does the flush and uses BG Synthetic ATF, should i have them use that or oem subaru fluid? and does the rear diff need to be flushed or just drained and filled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfang Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 All that really needs to be done.. Oil change Rotate tires Change Transmission fluid Change coolant Change brake fluid Adjust emergency brake Multi point inspection I know some dealers charge as low as $375 for that service but it also depends on if they are drain and filling fluids or flushing them.

kenchan Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 i ate the bullet and just paid the dealer to have it done. took 2hrs tops. came out to ~$550 with tax. was convenient and didnt have to waste my time so it was worth it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
