🔧 Maintenance

Service Intervals

Oil Change Interval:

Every 3,750 miles (severe service) or 7,500 miles (normal service), or 6 months. Always check oil level.

Engine Air Filter:

Inspect every 15,000 miles, replace as needed or every 30,000 miles.

Cabin Air Filter:

Replace every 15,000 miles or 12 months.

Spark Plugs:

Replace every 60,000 miles (Iridium type).

Coolant Flush:

Initial replacement at 105,000 miles or 7 years, then every 52,500 miles or 4 years thereafter.

Transmission Fluid Manual:

Inspect periodically. Replace as needed, typically around 60,000-100,000 miles, or sooner for hard use.

Transmission Fluid Automatic:

Inspect periodically. Replace approximately every 30,000-60,000 miles, depending on driving conditions.

Timing Belt Or Chain:

EJ253 is a timing belt engine. Replace every 105,000 miles or 7 years. WRX/STI EJ255/EJ257 are timing chain engines (generally maintenance-free for timing components, but check tensioners/guides if noise present).

Fluid Specifications

Brake Fluid Type:

DOT 3 or DOT 4

Power Steering Fluid Type:

ATF Dexron III or Subaru Genuine Power Steering Fluid

Known Issues

Head Gaskets:

While less prevalent than on earlier EJ engines, some EJ253 engines can experience coolant leaks from the head gaskets. The EJ255/EJ257 are generally more robust in this regard, but still a potential point of failure.

Clutch Wear:

Manual transmissions, especially in WRX models driven hard, can experience premature clutch wear.

Turbocharger Issues Wrx Sti:

Oil starvation or contamination can lead to turbocharger failure in WRX and STI models. Regular oil changes and proper warm-up/cool-down are crucial.

Catalytic Converter Failure:

Older vehicles may experience catalytic converter failure due to age or engine issues.

Suspension Components:

Sway bar links and bushings can wear over time, leading to clunks or poor handling.

📚 Vehicle History
