Frequently Asked Questions About Subaru Service
When should I change the oil and filter in my Subaru vehicle?
To keep your Subaru's engine running smoothly, we recommend changing the oil and filter every six months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. You can check your owner's manual, consult your recent service records, or check your oil before longer trips to ensure you're keeping up with changing the oil in your vehicle. Many factors contribute to when you'll need to change your oil. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic in Lawrence or do a lot of short trips around Belmont, you may need to change your oil more often.
Why are tire rotations important, and when should I get my tires rotated?
Tire rotations help ensure even tread wear and extend the life of your tires. Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles or with every other oil change service. If you notice uneven or rapid tread wear, it's important to get your tires inspected as soon as possible. On every vehicle, the front tires wear down faster than the rear tires, as they're the ones that steer. Rotating your tires lets your tires wear evenly, letting you use the same tires for longer. Better tread on your tires also provides better acceleration, stopping, steering, and fuel economy, resulting in better performance.
How can you tell your brakes need repair or replacement?
If you hear squealing, grinding, or clicking noises when braking, feel a vibration in the brake pedal or steering wheel, or notice that it takes longer to come to a complete stop, your brakes likely need attention. The brake pads are the first point of contact in your braking system. If your brake pads wear down completely, other components will also get damaged. That's why you should bring your vehicle in for a brake repair at the first sign that something's wrong.
Why is routine maintenance important, and what happens when you neglect regular auto service?
Following the recommended maintenance schedule for your specific Subaru model and year is crucial to keeping your vehicle performing as it was engineered. Routine maintenance, also called preventative maintenance, prevents small issues from becoming large problems. Skipping oil changes leads to sludge build-up and engine damage. Worn brake pads make it harder to stop safely. Poorly maintained tires are prone to flats and blowouts. Instead of dealing with costly repairs, we encourage you to visit our service center for quick, professional maintenance.
