Consumer Review Video - 2011 Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited 3.6L 6 Cyl.

Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 Outback

The 2011 Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited is a moderately easy car to maintain. Accessing the components of the spare tire is no problem, as they are conveniently located in the rear of the vehicle. This keeps these elements ready to go in case of emergency. The transmission fluid dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay, allowing you to reliably check the transmission fluid level on a regular basis. Both the front and rear wiper blades are easy to change on this vehicle. Other models will require the use of tools, and this vehicle does not, making this repair much easier.

Some things are difficult on the 2011 Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited. Accessing the headlight is tough, as you will have to reach through the wheel well lining in order to access the bulb. In order to access the cabin air filter, you will have to lower the glove box. This would have been much easier if there were a designated panel in the glove box for access to the filter. Checking the engine coolant fluid level is difficult, as the fluid reservoir is not located in an easily visible spot in the engine bay.
