My mtc book said 100k but then from several sources i was told they
changed their mind about that and were recommending 60k.

Because Sunaru depends on 40% of it's income
from planned obsolence and degradation of internal
engine parts and 300% markups from the dealer
to bring the money in. I bought my first
Subaru in 2002. I was the WORST mistake I ever
made! Their dealer service sucks ass and you're SOL
with them as far as warranty service is concerned
unless you like to do battle with corporate morons.
As far as I am concerned they should ship half the
Subaru cars in the USA to Iraq for AlQuaada to
use as car/suicide bomber platforms. That's all they
are good for. My next car will be a Honda like I had before
I went and bought a Subie-piece-of-shi+. |

the 2.2 engine used in the 95 called for 60K intervals, those used the
belt with the square teeth. The 2.5 which uses the belt with rounded
teeth calls for 100k
