Getting regular oil changes is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your vehicle's health and performance. At Maita Subaru, we recommend getting an oil change every 3,000-5,000 miles or every 3-6 months, whichever comes first.
There are several reasons why regular oil changes are so crucial for your Subaru model:
1. Keeps Engine Clean
Over time, oil picks up dirt, debris, and metal shavings from the engine. If this contaminated oil gets left in the engine for too long, it can start to sludge up and cause damage to internal components. Getting your oil changed regularly prevents this sludge buildup.
2. Maintains Proper Lubrication
Fresh, clean oil keeps all the moving parts in your engine properly lubricated. This aspect minimizes wear and tear. Old, dirty oil does not provide adequate lubrication.
3. Extends Engine Life
By preventing sludge buildup and keeping your engine properly lubricated, regular oil changes help extend the life of your engine. This scenario saves you money in the long run by avoiding costly repairs.
4. Improves Fuel Economy
When oil gets dirty, it causes more friction in the engine, which decreases fuel economy. Fresh oil helps your engine run more efficiently.
5. Maintains Warranty Coverage
Most vehicle manufacturer warranties require you to follow the recommended maintenance schedule, including oil changes. Not following the schedule can void your warranty.
For Subaru owners, following the factory-recommended maintenance schedule is key to getting the most miles out of your vehicle. Be sure to check your owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval.
When it's time for your next oil change, schedule a service appointment online or give us a call at Maita Subaru in Sacramento. Our factory-trained technicians will get your SUV or car back on the road quickly with fresh, high-quality oil.
