Subaru Forester: Maintenance and service / Drive belts
It is unnecessary to check the deflection of
the drive belt periodically because your
engine is equipped with an automatic belt
tension adjuster. However, replacement of
the belt should be done according to the
maintenance schedule in the “Warranty
and Maintenance Booklet”. Consult your
SUBARU dealer for replacement.
If the drive belt is loose, cracked or worn,
contact your SUBARU dealer.
It is not necessary to check the transmission
fluid level. Check that there are no
cracks, damage or leakage. However, the
fluid inspection should be performed according
to the maintenance schedule in
the “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”...
