Why Schedule Subaru Oil Change with CMA’s Valley Subaru?

Engines last far longer if you keep up with their oil change cycle. Giving your engine fresh motor oil allows for proper lubrication to perform, even under challenging circumstances. Fresh motor oil also reduces the heat generated by the rapid movement of its parts, thereby increasing your engine’s fuel economy. For your Subaru to perform efficiently, your engine also needs to be cleared of debris and dirt, a regular service performed with oil changes.

How do I know when my Subaru needs its oil changed?

Knocking or grinding sounds coming from your engine while running suggests a lack of proper lubrication where an oil change is needed. Ignoring these noises may lead to long-term engine issues. If you notice a burning odor inside the cabin or the “check engine” light turns on, it’s a common signal that your Subaru is due for an oil change.

Should I have my oil filter replaced when I change my oil?

Yes, make sure to keep your engine running smoothly by replacing your oil filter with every oil change. An aged filter will be saturated from the previous oil change with unwanted debris. At CMA’s Valley Subaru, we always make sure to change out the filter when you come in for an oil change service.

How often should my vehicle get an oil change?

To ensure your engine’s longevity and performance, it is recommended to get regular oil changes. This is typically every 7,500 miles, but various factors may impact this, such as driving habits, oil quality, and car age.

What does clean motor oil look like?

Various factors, such as the duration of use and any engine issues, can affect the color of motor oil. New oil will typically be amber, while old oil will have a darker appearance.
