Why Oil Changes Are Important

Being a responsible vehicle owner means staying on top of routine maintenance, which means you have to check and change your vehicle's fluids every once in a while. The oil in your engine is responsible for lubricating various parts of the engine and allowing them to run smoothly. As this oil gets dirty over time, it does a worse job of lubricating parts and can eventually cause added wear and tear on engine parts. If you use conventional oil in your Subaru vehicle, you should have your oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. If you're using fully synthetic oil, you can often go as long as 10,000 miles without running into any problems.
