Owners manual or service manual???
Hey guys,
I need to get a manual to learn how to look after my Scooby (& learn about cars in general). So I need a manual but apparently there are owners manuals as well as service manuals. Which one do I need? I have graduated past changing the oil & filter (dont laugh) and next I want to go for a change of spark plugs & maybe then the petrol filter. Which manual do I need seeing as I am only slowly learning engine stuff?? Any advice is appreciated!!

you could grab a haynes manual from advance or somewhere like that if you are looking for maintainance tips. http://techinfo.subaru.com/html/index.jsp I haven't tried it but apparnatly you can get a reference for diagnostics there but its a bit more expensive. For basic car maintainance I would just grab a Haynes.
EDIT: I didn't realize you were in new zealand so im not sure where to get a haynes manual there Last edited by legacy1907; 11-29-2006 at 07:23 AM. |

Thanks mate.....well if we are civilised enough to have Subarus then im sure we are civilised enough to have the manuals
But seriously we do have those Haynes manuals, I just wanted to check I wasnt going to get the wrong one. By the way do you think its essential to get a manual for the right hand drive or would either be as good? |

thats a good question. I would say if you can find the right hand drive edition pick that one up. Otherwise do a little search as to the differences between your car and a left hand drive car to see if they are major. Im sure simple things such as spark plugs and oil changes are pretty much the same though.
