The 2017 Subaru Crosstrek is equipped with a timing chain. However, there are potential issues to be aware of with its engine. These issues include possible excessive oil consumption, which may necessitate more frequent oil changes. A major concern is the risk of engine overheating, which could result in fires or even the car exploding. Loose gaskets should be promptly tightened, and a loose spark plug can lead to engine problems. Promptly addressing oil leaks is important. It is recommended to replace the coolant every 60,000 miles, spark plugs every 100,000 miles unless they are copper, in which case they should be changed every 30,000 miles. The air filter should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles.
