When it comes to Subaru service, certain maintenance tasks are crucial to keeping your Subaru driving properly. At Blaise Alexander Subaru of Lewiston, we know that regular oil changes are arguably the most crucial and easiest of them all.
The Importance of Routine Oil Change
Oil changes are very easy to schedule at the right intervals but can also be the primary need that a driver will overlook. A short-term choice based on convenience can have dire long-term consequences.
While older cars require more frequent oil change services, newer Subaru models only require them every 5,000-7,500 miles or twice a year. Advances in synthetic engine lubricants make it possible for new vehicles to go longer between oil changes.
Here are three major reasons to keep current with your oil change schedule:
Lubricate Your Engine
Your car’s engine runs at an extremely high temperature, and your oil is its source of lubrication. If you’re driving with dirty oil, your engine runs a major risk of overheating, but routine oil changes can prevent major engine issues.
Prevent Engine Wear
Regular oil changes will prevent the metal-on-metal of your engine’s components from wearing down prematurely. Fresh oil cycled through at the proper intervals will help prevent dirt and sludge build-up, as well.
Improve Gas Mileage
Keeping your car’s engine in tip-top shape is the best way to get the most out of your gas money. The money you spend at the gas pump will go a lot further if your oil is fresh, and your vehicle will produce a smaller amount of harmful carbon emissions.
Regular oil service is something that will benefit your car in both the short term and the long term. If you think you’re due for an oil change or can’t remember when your last change was, schedule a service visit at Blaise Alexander Subaru of Lewiston today!
