No doubt my 2001 Legacy GT 5spd MT 11yrs 180,000 miles - total cost to me for the few actual broken items that were not broken by me meaning they failed vs suffered damage in some manner totaled up to less than $700. For the bulk of the normal cars out there this is probably pretty typical regarding REAL actual repairs cars might see. This translates to dealer shops needing to create a source of income vs simply depend on real repairs. Hence the Mileage base service packages...Sure why not, what with cars becoming more efficient/reliable (past electronics) = less shop time.

And this thread proves it… -Add additive to fuel and oil (whatever the heck that is).<O</O
And this coming from a factory dealer. What’s next, “See how clean the fumes are now”.
If your coolant really is green you may want to consider having it changed. Your OB came with Subaru Super Coolant which is blue and still looks blue in my 2010. It is good for 137,500 miles or 11 years per your owner's manual.Air filter was already done
OIl change, need to do that, coming on 4k now
Coolant looks green still, lol
How often are you suppose to do plugs?
Yeah, true about the brake fluid! Ill wait for that
Actually I think the coolant color has nothing to do with the mileage rating. My coolant is toyota pink same goes for the Legacy we bought about 7months prior. The shop manager for the entire dealer good family friend who has since left the dealer to start up his top fuel drag car shop which he ran for about 25yrs before selling it and taking a 8yr break has said that the coolant is still 100K coolant and that he saw three different colors pass through the dealer in cars shipped from Subaru.If your coolant really is green you may want to consider having it changed.

Being that you already changed your engine and cabin air filter you need a oil and filter change, tire rotation and brake fluid flush to complete your 30K service per your owner's manual. I was in the same situation and it cost me about $100. in your home town. Oil change with Valvoline convential oil and Valvoline VO54 oil filter, tire rotation, check everything (ha,ha), and top off all fluids is about $25. Brake fluid flush is about $75. Check out the place behind the car wash across from Tractor Supply on 206. I have been going there for about 15 years.
I would never go to the dealer except for warranty work and I would never go anywhere and ask for the 30k, 60k or whatever service. Know what you want going in. It's all in your owner's manual.
Edit: Plugs are 60K per the owner's manual.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to suggest that the actual color had anything to do with the life. Just that I have never seen green in a 2010+ Subaru and if it is green maybe someone added/toppped off/exchanged or otherwise with something other than Subaru Super Coolant in which case Subaru recommends changing earlier. All the manufactures that I know of that use green do not have the same specs as Subaru.Actually I think the coolant color has nothing to do with the mileage rating.

It was Vespias for years. They have recently been taken over by Mr. Tire but the same guys are still there. It's behind the car wash which is across 206 from Tractor Supply. You can't see it from the road. The place is decent but not perfect. Tire prices are much better now that Mr. Tire has taken over. If you go in and ask for 30k, 60k or whatever price will be better than dealer. However, I still prefer to go in and ask for exactly what I want rather than a package.The balance is part of the tire rotation too right?
Isn't that like an STS place? (by tractor supply)
I'll be reading th eowner's manual book, thanks for the helpful advice
I'm going to the dealer anyway to get my rear hatch shocks and wiper blades replaced (under warranty) I also have a 100 dollar coupon/voucher so Ill use it for that
VespiasTIRE rotation is free with oil change at vespias? or at the dealer?
Verythtypical estimate I got for a brake job at the dealer (brake fluid flush and clean is 120. I know if you go to a garage it will be less but I would liek to use my $100 Coupon. Is 120 reasonable
