You may not be using your car as much due to the pandemic, but that doesn't mean you can skip the routine maintenance that your vehicle needs. If your Subaru car has been sitting around a lot more, you may be due for an oil change in our Heritage Subaru service center.
What Is the Importance of Engine Oil?
Usually, drivers get an oil change after they've driven a certain number of miles (normally around 5,000 to 7,500 miles). At this point, you need fresh oil that can do its job of lubricating the engine effectively.
However, mileage isn't the only factor that determines a need for new oil. As time passes, the oil in your car becomes less effective at its job by degrading and losing viscosity, meaning that even if you haven't been driving as often, it's likely your car requires an oil change service. We recommend oil changes every six months regardless of miles driven.
As more things start to open up and drivers hit the road again, it's important to make sure your car is ready for more driving. New, fresh oil protects your engine from damage. It can also help your engine operate more efficiently, squeezing more mileage out of every gallon of gasoline.
An oil change doesn't cost much money, but it can help you save on gas and repairs down the line!
