Hi all, I just bought my 2004 XT from a subaru dealer, it has only 37k miles, one owner previous to me!
I just had a question as to what I should possible due maintenance wise or things to check on?
It has had all regular maintenance up to its current miles according to the carfax and the dealer (Subaru) where service was performed. In addition to that they gave me a list of things they did to it before putting it up for sale these were:
Brake fluid flushed/changed
Front wiper blades replaced
front and rear diff fluids changed
Tires rotated and balanced
air filter and cabin air filter replaced
transmission serviced
I was checking all the fluids myself and noticed that the coolant reservoir is empty, checking the radiator cap level though, the coolant is full. This was some what concerning knowing about the head gasket issue that the reservoir was empty. I want to ask my dealer today how this was missed in their inspection and also find out if I can top it off or if they will. I was reading you don't want to mix coolant types and I have no clue what they used. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks.
Really liking this car so far, I came from another all wheel drive car (Audi S4).
