If you want your Subaru to live up to its award-winning safety standards, then you will need to stay on top of routine vehicle maintenance at your Subaru dealership. One of the most frequent service needs for your vehicle is an oil change, which must be done at regular intervals to ensure your engine is in peak performance condition.
How Long Has It Been Since Your Subaru’s Last Oil Change?
As a rule, Subaru recommends oil service for Subaru vehicles every 6,000 miles or every six months. Your driving style and the way you use your vehicle will determine which timing is best for you. If you don’t drive your Subaru very often, then six-month intervals are best for your vehicle. If you drive your Subaru a lot, then 6,000-mile intervals are better, since you might hit the 6,000-mile milestone faster than six months.
Frequent motor oil service is important since the oil in your engine will eventually break down. Even fully synthetic motor oil will lose qualities such as temperature regulation, corrosion protection, lubrication, and cleaning as time passes. Frequent driving can expose your motor oil to excessive heat, which can cause the oil levels to drop or increase friction in the engine as the lubrication from the oil wears away.
What Type of Oil is Used for Oil Service?
The best oil for your engine is outlined in your owner’s manual. Most modern Subaru vehicles use synthetic oil, which can optimize engine performance. Synthetic oil is ideal since it can perform well even in very cold or very hot temperatures. However, the type of engine you have can also determine which type of oil your vehicle needs. For some Subarus, conventional oil or semi-synthetic oil is better.
Other Services at Your Subaru Dealer
Your local dealership can service all of your vehicle needs, from manufacturer recalls to vehicle diagnostics, when you aren’t sure what’s wrong with your Subaru. At your dealership, you can schedule an express service for a tire rotation or other preventative maintenance so you can get back on the road as quickly as possible.
Many drivers like to schedule several vehicle maintenance services at one time to sync up the recommended service schedule outlined in the Subaru owner’s manual. These services can include replacing the filters, bulbs, wipers, batteries, timing belts, brake pads, and tires. The dealership can also align wheels and help you order genuine parts for repairs.
Fresh oil in your engine is the best way to preserve your engine, protect it from corrosion, and enhance the performance of your vehicle. Your Subaru should have fresh motor oil at least every six months. Contact Jim Keras Subaru to schedule oil service today.
