Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What type of fuel is recommended for the 2017-Present Subaru Impreza?

The 2017-Present Subaru Impreza is designed to run on regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Using higher-octane fuel is not required and will not significantly improve performance. Subaru recommends avoiding fuels with more than 10% ethanol (E10) to prevent potential engine damage. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific fuel requirements and compatibility.

Q2

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the Subaru Impreza?

Subaru recommends servicing the Impreza every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Key maintenance tasks include oil and filter changes, tire rotation, brake inspection, and fluid level checks. At 30,000 miles, additional services like air filter replacement and spark plug inspection are advised. Always follow the detailed maintenance schedule in the owner's manual to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Q3

How do I replace the fuel filter on a Subaru Impreza?

To replace the fuel filter on a 2017-Present Subaru Impreza, first, locate the filter near the fuel tank. Disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Relieve fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse and running the engine until it stalls. Disconnect the fuel lines and remove the old filter. Install the new filter, reconnect the fuel lines, and secure the battery terminal. Test for leaks before driving.

Q4

What should I do if my Subaru Impreza has poor fuel efficiency?

If your Subaru Impreza experiences poor fuel efficiency, check for common issues such as low tire pressure, dirty air filters, or clogged fuel injectors. Ensure the engine oil is at the correct level and viscosity. Use a fuel system cleaner to remove deposits. If the problem persists, have a professional inspect the oxygen sensors, spark plugs, and fuel system for potential faults.

Q5

How can I optimize the fuel efficiency of my Subaru Impreza?

To optimize fuel efficiency, maintain proper tire pressure, use the recommended grade of motor oil, and avoid excessive idling. Regularly replace air filters and spark plugs. Drive smoothly, avoiding rapid acceleration and hard braking. Use cruise control on highways to maintain a steady speed. Keeping the vehicle well-maintained and following the manufacturer's guidelines will ensure the best fuel economy.
