Do you guys have the dealership to change out your engine oil?
 

Subaru gives out 2 years of free maintenance. Do you guys have the local dealerships to do it for you? Or you guys just do it yourself at home?

Just curious. :)

i have dealer do it south coast subaru dealer look small but service ok to me no leak or any problem so far i have my ride for a year now

I have the 2 year free service with Scion, but I decided to change it myself. I just did my first one (1650 miles) this past weekend. Easy as heck! I also installed the Fumoto Oil Valve so it will be even easier going forward...

I had south coast do my oil changes for free as well for first 12k miles, they are a mod friendly dealer it seems.

i don't go to the dealer unless its warranty issues. go to an independent mechanic. i use synthetic blend. the shop specializes in subaru,toyota,nissan n honda

It comes with synthetic from the factory, btw.

I've always been one to do oil changes myself but I had the tech do it during a visit when I was having my fuel pump replaced.

Have always done my own stuff in the past as I trust myself more than someone who doesn't necessarily have a vested interest in this exact car.

With the FR-S, I had started to use the free maintenance, however:

I will be going back to DIY immediately. Sometimes free is not worth it!

NOTE: Subaru only gives you 2 years free maintenance if you buy your car from SoCal.

I'm used all the free maintenance. Now how much for a complete oil change at the dealer ? or buy oil & filter at dealer for diy.

Think it's $130 at the dealer. Think that's how much they wanted to charge me for complimentary oil change... Yes I said charge and complimentary in the same sentence.

Edit: it was actually $170.14

An oil change should be $79.95
