Routine maintenance for the Subaru Crosstrek 2021 should be conducted every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. This includes oil changes, tire rotations, and inspections of major components. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific maintenance schedules.
The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Base typically requires synthetic 0W-20 motor oil. Always verify with your owner's manual or consult a Subaru technician to ensure compatibility with your specific model.
To change a flat tire, first ensure the vehicle is on a stable surface and turn on the hazard lights. Loosen the lug nuts slightly before using the jack to lift the vehicle. Remove the lug nuts and the flat tire, then mount the spare tire. Tighten the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern. Lower the vehicle and ensure all lug nuts are securely tightened.
The check engine light can indicate a variety of issues from a loose gas cap to more serious engine problems. Check the gas cap first, ensuring it's tightened. If the light remains on, it's advisable to have the vehicle diagnosed by a Subaru technician to determine the exact cause.
To replace the cabin air filter, open the glove box and remove the damper on the side. Press in on both sides of the glove box to lower it completely. Locate the air filter cover behind the glove box, remove it, and replace the old filter with a new one. Reattach the cover and glove box.
If the battery keeps dying, check for any lights or accessories left on and ensure the battery terminals are clean and secure. If the problem persists, have the battery and charging system tested for faults. Consider replacing the battery if it's old or unable to hold a charge.
To improve fuel efficiency, maintain regular service intervals, keep tires properly inflated, and avoid excessive idling. Drive smoothly by accelerating gradually and using cruise control on highways. Removing unnecessary weight and using recommended fuel grade will also help.
