2020 Subaru Forester
120,000 mile service checklist
Here's exactly what your factory maintenance schedule calls for at this mileage — and what each item typically costs.
120,000 mile service
- Engine oil and filter change — 0W-20 full synthetic
- Tire rotation
- Replace engine coolant — Subaru Super Coolant (first change at 137k km / ~85k miles, then every 2 years — check owner's manual)
- Replace CVT fluid again (Subaru DCVT fluid — every 60k under normal service)
- Replace serpentine drive belt
- Replace spark plugs if not done at 60k
- Full brake fluid flush
- Inspect and replace front and rear differential fluid
- Inspect wheel bearings front and rear
- Inspect all suspension bushing condition (FB Forester lateral links commonly develop wear by 120k)
