Genuine Subaru & VW Maintenance Parts

That maintaining a vehicle is important is an understatement. Luckily, staying on top of the "what," "when," and "how often" of it -- it's easy. Just follow a schedule.

The best way to start is by making a checklist of any repairs, replacements, and upgrades you've done already, followed by the ones you haven't gotten to yet. There are three kinds of maintenance to track: regular, seasonal, and long-term. You can find them in one form or another throughout your vehicle's owner's manual.

Maintenance Checklists

Regular Maintenance

This includes:

• Checking the engine oil, coolant, and other fluids
• Checking the air filters, the oil filter, and the fuel filters
• Checking your tires' pressures and tread depths and doing a tire rotation
• Checking interior lighting, plus exterior lighting like headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights (DRLs)
• Waxing your vehicle to help protect its body parts

Seasonal Maintenance

This includes:

• Putting on new windshield wiper blades
• Putting on tires appropriate for the climate and weather
• Testing the car battery
• Checking and, if needed, topping off coolant

Long-Term Maintenance

This includes:

• Checking, flushing, and replacing the transmission fluid as necessary
• Checking the fluids in both the differential and the transfer case if you have them
• Checking and, if needed, replacing the shocks and struts
• Checking, flushing, and replenishing the radiator fluid as necessary
• Checking and, if it's time, changing spark plugs
• Checking and either tightening or replacing the serpentine belt as required
