Why do I need an oil change in my vehicle?
Motor oil acts as a lubricant and cooling agent in your vehicle’s engine, reducing friction and keeping the engine from overheating. Oil is extremely important for your engine’s performance and longevity, and low oil can cause your engine to overheat or stall. Additionally, as you drive, the undercarriage of your Subaru picks up dirt that can find its way into the oil in your engine. To avoid issues that can stem from dirty or low oil, it’s important to have your oil changed regularly. To do this, our technicians will drain the dirty oil, replace your oil filter and refill the oil tank with clean oil.
When do I get an oil change?
We recommend checking your owner’s manual to see what schedule is recommended for your specific vehicle. However, it’s generally recommended that you have your oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
What are the signs that I need an oil change?
It’s actually unwise to wait for your vehicle to give you signs (such as the oil light appearing on your dashboard), because by that point, damage could already have occurred in your engine. That’s why we’re here to help you keep track of when you need an oil change — so you don’t have to worry about remembering.
