The scheduled maintenance interval at 120,000 miles (or the equivalent in time) for Subaru vehicles represents a significant point in the vehicle’s lifespan. This service typically involves a thorough inspection and replacement of several key components to ensure continued reliability and performance. Specific services often include, but are not limited to, spark plug replacement, fluid changes (engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid), and inspection of belts, hoses, and other wear items.
Adhering to the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule at this mileage is crucial for maintaining the vehicle’s longevity and preventing potential future issues. Proactive maintenance can mitigate the risk of costly repairs down the line and preserve the vehicle’s resale value. Historically, this type of extensive service was less emphasized, but modern automotive engineering recognizes the importance of preventative measures at higher mileage intervals to optimize vehicle performance and dependability.
