To adjust the side mirrors on your Subaru BRZ, sit in the driver's seat and locate the mirror adjustment switch on the door panel. Use the switch to select the desired side mirror (left or right). Then, use the switch to adjust the mirror's position, ensuring you have a clear view of the surrounding traffic. Some models may have power-folding mirrors, which can be adjusted using the same switch or a separate button.

To change the brake pads on your Subaru BRZ, first, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged. Remove the wheel/tire assembly to access the brake caliper. Use a suitable tool to compress the caliper piston, then remove the caliper mounting bolts and lift the caliper off the brake rotor. Remove the old brake pads and install the new ones, ensuring they are properly aligned. Reinstall the caliper, tighten the mounting bolts, and reinstall the wheel/tire assembly. Repeat the process for the other side and remember to properly bed in the new brake pads before aggressive braking.

To change the cabin air filter in your Subaru BRZ, open the glove box and remove any contents. Squeeze the sides of the glove box inward to allow it to fully open and hang down. Locate the cabin air filter cover, which is usually on the passenger side behind the glove box. Remove the cover by releasing the clips or screws. Take out the old filter and replace it with a new one, making sure it is properly aligned. Reinstall the cover, close the glove box, and test the airflow from the vents.

Place a drain pan underneath the plug and remove it with a suitable wrench. Allow the fluid to fully drain, then reinstall the drain plug. Locate the transmission fluid fill plug, usually on the side of the transmission. Remove the fill plug and use a funnel to add the recommended transmission fluid until it reaches the proper level. Reinstall the fill plug and check for any leaks. It is recommended to refer to the specific instructions in the Subaru BRZ automotive repair manual for detailed steps and specifications.

To check and adjust the tire pressure on your Subaru BRZ, you will need a tire pressure gauge and access to an air pump. Remove the valve cap from the tire, firmly press the gauge onto the valve stem, and read the pressure displayed on the gauge. Compare it to the recommended tire pressure, which can be found in the vehicle's owner's manual or on a sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. If the pressure is too low, add air until the desired pressure is reached. If the pressure is too high, release air by pressing the center pin in the valve stem. Repeat the process for all four tires.

To check the engine oil level in your Subaru BRZ, park the vehicle on a level surface and wait for the engine to cool down. Open the hood and locate the oil dipstick, usually near the front of the engine. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, and then pull it out again to check the oil level. The oil should be between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick.

To jump-start your Subaru BRZ, you will need a set of jumper cables and a functioning vehicle with a charged battery. Park the two vehicles close enough for the jumper cables to reach both batteries. Turn off the engines and connect one end of the positive (+) cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the charged battery. Connect one end of the negative (-) cable to the negative terminal of the charged battery and the other end to a metal surface away from the dead battery. Start the engine of the functioning vehicle, let it run for a few minutes, and then attempt to start your Subaru BRZ.

Reinstall the bulb socket, secure any clips or covers, and test the new bulb before closing the hood.

To replace the battery in your Subaru BRZ key fob, locate the small slot or button on the back of the key fob. Use a small flathead screwdriver or a coin to pry open the key fob. Once opened, carefully remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, making sure the positive (+) side is facing up. Close the key fob by snapping the two halves back together. Test the key fob to ensure it is operating properly.

To replace the spark plugs in your Subaru BRZ, first, ensure the engine is turned off and has cooled down. Locate the spark plug wires or ignition coils on top of the engine.

It is recommended to change the engine oil in your Subaru BRZ approximately every 6,000 to 7,500 miles, or every 6 months, whichever comes first. However, this may vary depending on your driving conditions and habits. Regularly changing the oil and using the correct type of oil will help maintain the engine's performance and longevity.

The air filter in your Subaru BRZ should be inspected regularly, and depending on its condition, it may need to be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. However, if you frequently drive in dusty or polluted environments, it is recommended to replace the air filter more frequently. A clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, reducing performance and fuel efficiency.

Your Subaru BRZ is designed to run on unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. Using fuel with a lower octane rating can lead to engine knocking, reduced performance, and potential damage to the engine. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for fuel type to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the engine.
