Subaru WRX Maintenance Schedule at Hicks Family Subaru

Your Subaru WRX is built for performance, but even the toughest vehicles need regular care to keep running at their best. Whether you’re cruising through the streets of Corpus Christi or enjoying the open road, following the recommended Subaru WRX maintenance schedule is key to ensuring top-tier performance, safety, and longevity. At Hicks Family Subaru, our certified Subaru technicians are ready to help you maintain the thrilling ride your WRX delivers.

Key Maintenance Intervals for Your Subaru WRX:

Every 6,000 Miles or 6 Months

Oil and Filter Change: Subaru recommends using 0W-20 synthetic oil to keep your turbocharged WRX engine running smoothly. Regular oil changes are essential to protect your engine and ensure optimal performance.

Tire Rotation: Rotate your Subaru tires to avoid uneven wear and improve handling. Depending on the model, the WRX typically uses 245/40R18 tires for performance and grip.

Brake Inspection: Ensuring your WRX’s high-performance brakes are in top shape is crucial. We’ll inspect your brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels to ensure quick stops every time.

Fluid Level Check: We’ll inspect your vehicle’s critical fluids, including coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid, to ensure everything is topped off and functioning properly.

Every 12,000 Miles or 12 Months

Cabin Air Filter Replacement: Replace your cabin air filter to keep the air inside your WRX clean and fresh.

Brake System Service: Have your brakes thoroughly inspected and, if necessary, replace worn pads or rotors. At this interval, flushing and replacing your brake fluid is often recommended.

Exhaust and Turbo System Check: Turbocharged engines, like the one in your WRX, benefit from regular inspections to ensure the turbo system is functioning efficiently and safely.

Every 30,000 Miles or 30 Months

Transmission Fluid Check: Whether you’re driving the WRX with a manual or Subaru’s automatic transmission, the fluid must be checked regularly for smooth shifting and long-term performance.

Air Filter Replacement: Replacing the engine air filter ensures that your WRX’s turbocharged engine gets the clean air it needs for optimal performance.

Brake Fluid Replacement: For enhanced braking performance, replace the brake fluid at least every 30,000 miles.

Every 60,000 Miles or 60 Months

Spark Plug Replacement: Your WRX’s turbocharged engine works hard, and replacing spark plugs ensures efficient combustion and smooth power delivery.

Differential Oil Replacement: For WRX models with all-wheel drive, changing the differential oil helps protect the system and maintain sharp handling.

Transmission Fluid Replacement: If not done earlier, this is the time to replace the transmission fluid to ensure continued performance and reliability.

Every 120,000 Miles or 120 Months

Coolant Replacement: Help keep your engine’s cooling system operating efficiently by replacing the coolant and inspecting the radiator and hoses.

Comprehensive Inspection: As your WRX ages, a full inspection of the vehicle’s major systems, including suspension, exhaust, and turbo components, ensures everything is functioning as intended.
