2021 Subaru Ascent
60,000 mile service checklist
Here's exactly what your factory maintenance schedule calls for at this mileage — and what each item typically costs.
60,000 mile service
- Engine oil and filter change (0W-20 full synthetic)
- Tire rotation
- Replace spark plugs — iridium, turbo-spec (heat range and gap differ from naturally-aspirated FB-series engines — use Subaru/NGK part number specific to the FA24)
- Replace cabin air filter
- Replace engine air filter
- CVT fluid (HP CVTF) change — commonly recommended preventive service on turbo/towing-capable models even under nominally normal use
- Replace rear differential gear oil
- Replace brake fluid
- Inspect coolant — top off or replace if contaminated
- Inspect turbocharger for shaft play, oil consumption, and unusual noise (whine/whistle under boost)
- Inspect wheel bearings, ball joints, and suspension bushings
