Default Service Guidance

Ok, Basically i'm after some guidance on what i should be getting done on my next service

I understand that some people like to get things changed more frequently than what is recommended in the standard Subaru service shedule which is why i am asking this question so that i don't neglect something

my car is a 2005 spec STI and is stock standard, so far it has had all the recommended Subaru services which indicate that i am due for a 50k/60mnth service(cam belt and oil change). Does this sound ok or would you be getting other things done also.


Cheers Mat

sounds about right plus you could get the spark plugs changed too

I was considering spark plugs

last oil change was 3.5k/7mnths

fuel filter,air filter,spark plugs,coolant and gear/diff oil were last changed 9k/18mnths ago

would it be a good idea to get a coswoth cam belt or is that overkill?

i change the oil/filter on mine every 5K
spark plugs every 15K

never done the gearbox oil as it was to the right level and very clean

mine is due a timing belt and i have considered a kevlar one just for the piece of mind as i have hit the limiter a few times

you can't really over service your car so as they say prevention is better than cure...
