As a Subaru owner, your vehicle is built to last, and to keep it performing at the highest level, regular oil changes are crucial. Motor oil lubricates the engine components, reduces wear, and helps prevent overheating. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes less effective, which is why oil changes at regular intervals are so important.
When to Get Your Subaru's Oil Changed
In general, conventional oil should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, while synthetic oil can last 7,500 to 10,000 miles or more. However, it's always best to follow the oil change schedule in your Subaru owner's manual. Factors like driving habits, climate, and vehicle age also impact oil life. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, in extreme temperatures, you may need more frequent changes.
Conventional vs Synthetic Motor Oil
Conventional motor oil is derived directly from crude oil, while synthetic motor oil is a man-made product customized for superior performance. Synthetic oil resists breakdown better and provides superior engine protection, especially in extreme temperatures. While more expensive, synthetic oil allows for longer intervals between oil changes, saving you time and money in the long run.
