No matter which trim you drive, we ensure your Forester is cared for with genuine Subaru parts and expert service.
Oil and Filter Change: Regular oil changes keep your Subaru Forester’s engine running smoothly. We use 0W-20 synthetic oil, designed for optimal engine performance and efficiency.

The Subaru Forester benefits from regular oil changes using 0W-20 synthetic oil, which improves fuel efficiency and protects your engine from wear and tear. At Hicks Family Subaru, we use genuine Subaru oil filters and the recommended oil type to ensure your engine stays in top condition.
Tires are a critical part of your Forester’s performance, especially given its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. Most Forester models are equipped with 17-inch or 18-inch tires. Regular tire rotations, alignments, and replacements will help you maintain control and efficiency. If you need new tires, our Subaru service department in Corpus Christi offers a wide range of Subaru-approved tires.
Your Subaru Forester’s braking system should be inspected regularly to ensure your safety. We check your brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid at each service interval. Subaru recommends brake fluid replacement every 30,000 miles to ensure optimal braking performance.
A well-functioning battery is essential to powering your Forester’s electronics and ensuring reliable starts. We’ll inspect your battery’s health every 6 months and can replace it with a genuine Subaru battery if needed, which typically lasts around 3-5 years.
