Engine designs vary from one automotive manufacturer to another, each creating different internal conditions that require the right type of oil to protect against heat and friction. This is why we recommend filling up with Genuine Subaru Oil, because it's the ONLY oil formulated specifically for your SUBARU BOXER® engine.
*Based on a 2017 independent study conducted by Idemitsu Lubricants America comparing engine protection results between 0W-20 Genuine Subaru Oil and leading aftermarket 0W-20 synthetic oil brands.
When it's time, an oil change is something you shouldn't put off doing. That's why our Service Center is conveniently open for you with Factory Trained Teams who work on Subaru vehicles every day.

Subaru recommends that you check the oil level on your dipstick at every other fuel stop. Depending on your driving style and other conditions, your engine may consume oil more frequently between oil changes. It's good practice to check the level regularly to help ensure your Subaru continues performing safely. It's easy and anyone can do it. Here's how:
Your Subaru uses different fluids to help support and protect its various systems. Our Factory Trained Teams inspect them each time you visit us for service during the Free Multi-Point Inspection. It also helps to keep an eye on these fluid levels yourself from time to time. It's simple - just open your hood and look for the yellow caps. Check out the videos below to learn more. And for detailed instructions, refer to your Owner's Manual.
Your vehicle depends on a variety of fluids to keep everything running smoothly, so it's important to schedule routine service for them, just like you would any other system or component. We're equipped to handle oil changes, which are a common part of most drivers' lives, as well as service for everything from washer fluid to transmission fluid. Here's a quick look at the reasons why fluid service is so important and how we can lend a hand here at our Subaru service center serving Vernon, CT.
Due to their nature as liquids, it's easy to forget that fluids are parts of your car that need service to ensure peak performance, just like brakes or tires. They break down and need replacement from time to time, just like any other part that keeps your car running, so it's crucial to stay on top of fluid maintenance so your car has everything it needs to perform at full strength. Whether your engine oil is due for a change or your transmission fluid needs to be flushed, we're ready to tackle your fluid needs.
Engine oil is what lubricates your engine parts and keeps them cool by reducing friction. If your engine oil is dirty or there isn't enough of it, your engine parts can wear out rapidly and cause your engine to overheat, which is a much bigger, costlier problem than an oil change. Luckily, oil changes are fast and easy here at our service center near Tolland, CT, so you can count on us to make sure your engine has what it needs.
In general, most cars need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or, if you don't rack up miles that fast, every six months. Whichever comes first. Sticking to this basic schedule helps ensure your engine always has a supply of fresh, clean oil, preventing premature wear and tear.
If your car is overdue for an oil change, you're likely to notice some nasty warning signs as you drive around South Windsor, CT. If you notice a burning oil smell, engine knocking, or any other unusual sounds or behaviors from your engine, then dirty oil or low oil levels could be the culprit. These warning signs usually indicate a problem is already present, so it's best to keep up with regular oil changes to prevent these issues from cropping up.
Aside from oil changes, your car is likely to need a variety of other fluid services throughout its lifetime. Some of these are quick and easy, like washer fluid top-offs. Other fluids, such as coolant, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and brake fluid, might require more involved maintenance. Fortunately, we have all the necessary tools and materials here at our Subaru service center near Glastonbury, CT and Manchester, CT to take on your fluid service needs.
