Subaru Forester 100K Service Checklist Malaysia
The Subaru Forester SJ (2013–2018) and SK (2019+) are popular AWD SUVs in Malaysia using the FB25 2.

Subaru Forester 100,000 km Service
- Forester 100k service items: engine oil and filter, spark plugs (FB25 uses iridium — 100,000 km interval), coolant flush, brake fluid, cabin air filter, engine air filter, inspect CV boots, inspect brake pads and rotors, tyre rotation, battery test
- Forester 100k spark plugs: FB25 OEM iridium plugs rated for 100,000 km; do not use copper plugs — copper requires re-gap and shortens service interval to 30,000 km; use NGK or Denso iridium to OEM spec
- Forester 100k CVT: CVT fluid on Lineartronic should be at 40,000 km interval — at 100k confirm CVT fluid was changed at 80k; if not yet changed, change immediately at 100k
- Forester 100k inspection: 100,000 km is milestone for full suspension inspection — ball joints, control arm bushings, sway bar links, shock absorbers; SH/SJ Forester at 100k is about 10 years old in Malaysia — inspect all rubber bushings for cracking
