As a Subaru owner, you know that your vehicle is built to last. But to keep in like-new condition and performing at the highest level for longer, regular maintenance is crucial. Getting your oil changed at the recommended intervals is crucial to your vehicle’s performance and health. At Burton Subaru Of Glen Burnie, we're here to help you understand why oil changes are so critical for the health of your Subaru.
Why You Need to Get Your Subaru's Oil Changed Regularly
The motor oil in your Subaru serves several vital functions. It lubricates the moving parts in your engine to minimize wear and tear. It also helps to cool the engine by transferring heat away from the combustion chamber. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dust, debris, and sludgy deposits. If you don't get your oil changed regularly, this dirty oil can cause increased friction and engine damage.
Subaru recommends getting your oil changed every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, in extreme temperatures, or haul heavy loads, you may need to get your oil changed more often. Consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your model.
Conventional vs. Synthetic Motor Oil
When you get your oil changed, you typically have a choice between conventional and synthetic motor oil. Conventional oil is derived from crude oil and is the most widely used type. Synthetic oil is artificially made and provides superior lubrication and protection, especially in extreme temperatures. Synthetic oil also resists breakdown better over time. While synthetic oil is more expensive, it can help extend the life of your engine and may allow you to go longer between oil changes.
