The right oil for your Subaru
Why Oil Type and Maintenance Timing Matter
Motor oil lubricates moving engine components, helps manage heat, and carries contaminants to the oil filter. Over time, oil and its additives degrade, making regular changes important.
Many Subaru models specify synthetic oil, but the correct viscosity, oil specification, and service interval depend on the engine, model year, and operating conditions. Your owner's manual is the best starting point.
- Oil viscosity matched to your Subaru's specifications
- Oil filter replacement during oil service
- Maintenance guidance based on your vehicle
- Additional attention for demanding driving conditions
Beyond the basics
Stay Ahead With Routine Maintenance
Oil changes are only one part of caring for your Subaru. Depending on mileage and driving conditions, scheduled maintenance may also include tire rotations, brake inspections, air-filter replacement, fluid service, and other manufacturer-recommended items.
Our service advisors can help you understand which services are due now, which can wait, and what to watch for before your next visit.

Common questions
Subaru Oil Change & Maintenance FAQs
How often should I change the oil in my Subaru?
Follow the oil-change interval listed in the maintenance schedule for your Subaru's model year and engine. Many Subaru schedules specify an interval around 6,000 miles or 6 months, but requirements vary, and some driving conditions may require more frequent service.
Does my Subaru need synthetic oil?
Many modern Subaru engines require synthetic oil of a specific viscosity and performance specification. Our team can help identify the oil recommended for your vehicle.
What is included in a Subaru oil change?
An oil change includes draining and replacing the engine oil and replacing the oil filter. Additional inspections or checks depend on the service package and vehicle. Your advisor can confirm the details before work begins.
How long does an oil change take?
Appointment duration depends on shop workload, your vehicle, and any additional maintenance requested. Ask your service advisor for an estimated completion time when scheduling or checking in.
Can I schedule an oil change and tire rotation together?
Yes, you can request multiple routine maintenance services when booking your appointment. Your advisor can review the requested work and available appointment options.
Will servicing outside a Subaru dealership automatically void my warranty?
No. Routine maintenance performed elsewhere does not automatically void a vehicle warranty. Use the correct parts and fluids, follow the required maintenance schedule, and keep service records. Damage caused by improper maintenance may not be covered.
Do you service Subaru vehicles with high mileage?
Yes. Our team can review oil specifications and maintenance recommendations for older or higher-mileage Subaru vehicles. High-mileage oil is not automatically required at a specific odometer reading; suitability depends on the engine and manufacturer requirements.
