1995 Schedule Of Inspection And Maintenance Services

Maintaining Your Vehicle's Finish

The best way to preserve your vehicle's finish and aid in avoiding rust is to keep the vehicle clean by washing frequently. Wash the vehicle only with lukewarm or cold water. Do not wash the vehicle in the direct rays of the sun, or use strong soap or chemical cleaners. Any cleaning agents used should be washed off promptly and not allowed to dry on the finish.

Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys and other foreign matter may damage the finish if left on the painted surfaces. Prompt washing may not completely remove all these deposits. Additional cleaners may be needed. When using chemical cleaners developed for this purpose, be sure they are safe for use on painted surfaces.

Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and can develop into major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your Subaru dealer.

If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement, be sure the body shop uses Genuine Subaru Replacement Parts.

Maintenance

Vehicle maintenance is an important factor for proper vehicle operation. The vehicle's driver should ensure that fluid levels (engine oil, coolant, etc.) are checked frequently (i.e., each time you add fuel) in accordance with the instructions in the owner's manual.

Your Subaru vehicle requires an initial engine oil and filter change at 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever first occurs. We suggest that you schedule an appointment for this service and any other necessary adjustments at any Authorized Subaru Dealer.

The frequency of scheduled inspection and maintenance services as set forth below is minimal. However, it may be necessary that they be performed more frequently depending on road conditions, weather, atmospheric conditions, vehicle usage and individual driving habits.

Maintenance, repair or replacement of the emission control devices and systems of your car may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual, using any automotive part which its manufacturer has certified will not result in a failure of your car to comply with the regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Please see the Emission Control Systems Warranties for details.

Notes

  1. When the vehicle is used under severe driving conditions such as those mentioned below,** the engine oil should be changed more often.
  2. When the vehicle is used in extremely cold or hot weather areas, contamination of the filter may occur and filter replacement should be performed more often.
  3. When the vehicle is frequently operated under severe driving conditions, replacement should be performed every 48,000 km (30,000 miles).
  4. When the vehicle is frequently operated under severe driving conditions, such as mountain driving, replacement should be performed every 24,000 km (15,000 miles).
  5. When the vehicle is used in high humidity areas or in mountainous areas, change the brake fluid every 24,000 km (15,000 miles) or 15 months, whichever occurs first.
  6. When the vehicle is used under severe driving conditions such as those mentioned below,** inspection should be performed every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or 7.5 months, whichever occurs first.
  7. This inspection is not required to maintain emission warranty eligibility and it does not affect the manufacturer's obligations under EPA's in-use compliance program.
  8. When the vehicle is used in extremely dusty conditions, the air cleaner element should be replaced more often.

**Examples of severe driving conditions:

  1. Repeated short distance driving. (Items 3, 13 and 14 only)
