"It is always cheaper to maintain than to repair."

On average, for all makes and models automobiles, the cost of maintenance, added to the cost of repair, over 150,000 miles, calculates to 33.3% less for those who do all recommended factory scheduled maintenances when they are suppose to as opposed to those who do not. For SUBARUs the savings are slightly higher.

The scheduled maintenance items that require service at regular intervals are shown in your  “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet." The fallowing are typical SUBARU maintenance schedules as taken from the service manuals of a 2000 SUBARU Outback 2.5L Wagon and should NOT be used without conformation of specific details found in your  “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet."

As you study the scheduled maintenances shown below: Notice that the15K, 45K, 75K and 135K Mile Scheduled Maintenances are all the same. Notice to that the 30K, 60K and 120K Mile Scheduled Maintenances are all the same except for the last item, Front and rear wheel bearing lubricant.  Notice that the 100K Mile Scheduled Maintenance consist of a timing Belt and applicable procedural inspection only.
