2021 Subaru Crosstrek
30,000 mile service checklist

Here's exactly what your factory maintenance schedule calls for at this mileage — and what each item typically costs.

30,000 mile service

  • Engine oil and filter change (0W-20 full synthetic)
  • Tire rotation
  • Replace engine air filter
  • Replace cabin air filter
  • Inspect spark plugs — NGK iridium; Subaru factory interval is approximately 60,000 mi, do not replace at 30k
  • CVT fluid change recommended under severe-duty conditions (towing, mountainous terrain, frequent stop-and-go, extreme temperatures); inspect-only under normal use
  • Replace rear differential gear oil — Subaru rear differential (part of the AWD driveline) uses conventional gear oil, typically 75W-90
  • Inspect brake fluid — replace if moisture-contaminated
  • Inspect coolant condition — Subaru Super Coolant (long-life, blue/green)
  • Inspect accessory drive belt and timing chain tensioner (FB-series engines use a timing chain, not a belt)
