blackfang Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Each dealer is different. You can contact one and find out what they do for the 60k and how much, or you can give them a list of what you specifically want done and ask how much it will cost.

Regal05LGT Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Try and find someone "not" a dealer who can take care of you..... they charge a fortune for the scheduled services, at least by me they do. Wanted in excess of $600 for the 30,000 mi lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhSoTuRbO6 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 the maintenance guide only says when you need to bring it in not what need to be done. This makes sense, that way they can charge you out the ass, or I could just be over looking this somewhere but I been looking over this book for an hour.

The maintenance guide tells you what gets done at what mileage. http://www.subaru.com/owners/schedules/index.jsp?from=topNav Click the link to the year you own on the left. Then scroll down and click the link at the bottom of the page. That is what is in your maintenance guide.

spect2k Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Good link. Quick question: Is there a reason that ONLY the STi uses the long-life coolant? Note 14 says that the long life coolant only needs to be replaced for the 1st time at around 140,000 miles. It seems that legacys need to replace it every 30K, is this accurate? Could we switch to the long-life coolant?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 ^^^ I asked the service manager about using the new "super coolant" in older engines, or engines pre-08, and he said they were instructed to use this new coolant, yet change it with suggested intervals as previously determined. That doesn't make any sense to me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make any sense to me at all. Yes you can use the super blue coolant, but you still have to change it at the recommended frequency for that engine. Just because you have the newer coolant so to speak, the cooling system isn't. So Subaru still recommends the 30,000 mile interval. Edit-I also found that if a car is flushed using the Wynns flush machine with the Super Blue coolant, the interval is 6yr/75k.

All 2009 vehicles should be using the long life coolant. http://content.subaru.com/sub/media/pdf/schedules/2009SchedFed.pdf [SIZE=1][URL="http://public.fotki.com/blackfang/"]Pics[/URL] [B]08 KawasakiZZR 600- exhaust and other mods 98 Camaro Z/28 HT- some mods......street/strip car 07 Legacy 2.5i- SPT exhaust...daily driver[/B][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spect2k Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 So this leads me to question as to whether or not they actually changed anything between the 08 and 09 in terms of the coolant system. I didn't hear about any engine differences, if it's good for the 09, why not for the 08?...I'd be interested to ask the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
