Why are oil changes important?
The primary purpose of regular oil changes is to protect your engine. Your engine is made up of fast-moving parts that can create friction and cause overheating and wear and tear it if they are not properly lubricated. That's where oil comes in. Oil is responsible for lubricating these engine parts so that they can operate smoothly without excess friction.
The trick is that oil eventually expires. It degrades over time and can become contaminated with dirt and tiny metal particles that break off your engine parts. Driving with old, dirty oil can actually do more harm than good, so it's important to stay on top of regular oil changes here at our Subaru dealership serving Sunnyside and Prosser so that your engine last longer and performs better.
When do I need an oil change?
The average vehicle needs an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or so. If you don't drive much, your Subaru vehicle should still get an oil change every six months to account for oil degradation. So, be sure to stay on top of whatever milestone comes first.
If your car is due for an oil change, our Subaru service center serving Wenatchee and Moses Lake is here to help. Feel free to schedule an oil change here at our dealership today to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
