Well lads,
whats the recommended service interval for a leggy. 03 jap. is it just an oil change every 6000 miles or kilometeres? or full whack? plugs, coolant and air filter? ive just changed the oil on mine after 4000 klms just so i know whats in her, not sure what oil the dealer used at time i picked it up. (oil was very clean when it came out so i know it was done). if only an oil change is needed, how often would she need a full service with all the trimmings. i want to look after her as best i can so any advice will be great

Cheers

Dave
 
oil change every 8k would be grand, check all the fluid then too.
timing belt at 100K or 5 years if it hasn't been done already

If your doing normal road driving 10k km/6k miles is perfect. Subaru recommend 16k km which imo is too far apart.
