Fresh Oil Keeps Your Engine Running Smoothly
Perhaps the most well-known of vehicle maintenance jobs, an oil change is critical to the health of your vehicle's engine. Oil lubricates the engine's multitude of moving parts, preventing excess heat and needless wearing. As your car's oil gets older, you may see decreases in performance and efficiency. In the worst cases, parts may break. Keeping fresh oil in your engine keeps your car on the road and money in your pocket.
How Often Should I Bring My Vehicle in for an Oil Change?
This can vary. Each vehicle is different and requires unique attention. Generally, oil changes should occur every few months or every few thousand miles. Our technicians can help determine if and when your vehicle needs an oil change.
What Kind of Oil Does my Vehicle Need?
Again, this varies. There are dozens of varieties of motor oils and every engine needs the proper type to function properly. Whether you need 5W-20 or 10W-30, synthetic or high-mileage, we can help determine what kind of oil is best for your engine.
Can I Change My Vehicle's Oil Myself?
Technically, yes - but we recommend using a certified mechanic. Mechanics have specialized training and knowledge for specific vehicle makes and models. Our technicians know the specs and required steps for servicing Subaru models.

The Genuine Subaru Oil difference.
Engine designs vary from one automotive manufacturer to another, each creating different internal conditions that require the right type of oil to protect against heat and friction. This is why we recommend filling up with Genuine Subaru Oil, because it's the ONLY oil formulated specifically for your SUBARU BOXER® engine.
Why choose Genuine Subaru Oil?
- Engineered to clean and protect internal engine components between oil changes better than most leading aftermarket brands*
- Formulated with a unique blend of additives, detergents, and modifiers specific for the lubrication needs of the SUBARU BOXER® engine
- Reduces wear and cleans internal components to maximize engine life and maintain optimal fuel economy

*Based on a 2017 independent study conducted by Idemitsu Lubricants America comparing engine protection results between 0W-20 Genuine Subaru Oil and leading aftermarket 0W-20 synthetic oil brands.

Checking your oil level.
Subaru recommends that you check the oil level on your dipstick at every other fuel stop. Depending on your driving style and other conditions, your engine may consume oil more frequently between oil changes. It's good practice to check the level regularly to help ensure your Subaru continues performing safely. It's easy and anyone can do it. Here's how:
Ever wonder what's under those yellow caps?
Your Subaru uses different fluids to help support and protect its various systems. Our Factory Trained Teams inspect them each time you visit us for service during the Free Multi-Point Inspection. It also helps to keep an eye on these fluid levels yourself from time to time. It's simple - just open your hood and look for the yellow caps. Check out the videos below to learn more. And for detailed instructions, refer to your Owner's Manual.
