Don't be fooled! Correct maintenance doesn't mean lots of oil changes and the occasional tire rotation. Those who maintain their cars according to the factory schedule are rewarded with better performance, fewer failures and increased value at trade in time. As an example, below is a clip from a Carfax report on a trade in we took. The addition of $1170 made to the book value was because of the complete and on-time maintenance the car had received.
As an example of the maintenance schedule we follow, below is a matrix for 2011 and later Forester models. Note that each model and model year has its own specific requirements, and Subarus using non-synthetic motor oil also require intermediate oil and filter services besides the service checks at 7500 mile intervals.
