As a Subaru owner, you know your vehicle is built to last. But to keep it running smoothly for years to come, it's essential to stay on top of routine maintenance like oil changes. At Southern Oregon Subaru in Medford, our expert service technicians are here to help keep your Subaru in top condition.
Why Your Subaru Needs Regular Oil Changes
Motor oil plays a vital role in protecting your engine. It lubricates moving parts, reduces friction and wear, and helps dissipate heat. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dust, debris and metal particles. When this happens, it can't properly do its job and may even start causing damage to engine components.
By getting your oil changed at the recommended intervals, you'll:
- Extend the life of your engine
- Optimize fuel economy and performance
- Prevent overheating and engine failure
- Maintain your warranty coverage
Conventional vs. Synthetic Oil
Most Subaru models can use either conventional or synthetic motor oil. Conventional oil is less expensive but needs to be changed more often, typically every 3,000-5,000 miles. Full synthetic oils are specially formulated to last longer, often 6,000-8,000 miles or more between changes. Synthetic blends offer a middle ground in terms of cost and change intervals.
Our knowledgeable service advisors can recommend the best type of oil for your specific Subaru model and driving habits. We only use genuine Subaru oil filters and high-quality motor oil for optimal protection.
