Subaru Oil Changes in Orlando, FL

Oil changes make the life of a Subaru go round. When it comes to taking care of your Subaru, continuing regular maintenance for integral parts of your car like your oil helps to prevent unnecessary issues. Having your oil changed is one of the many areas of your vehicle that have a lot of options that can benefit different kinds of cars. When choosing between conventional and synthetic oil, we first of all always recommend following your owner's manual, but are here to help make decisions and answer additional questions.

Subaru Conventional Oil Change

Conventional oil is the most well-known oil and for awhile, the most commonly used. Conventional oil is best for older cars from about 2010 and back. Switching from conventional oil to synthetic oil on a car that has higher mileage could cause breakdown and higher oil consumption.

When to use Conventional Oil

In an older car that is used to it
If you're on a budget
Is your car new? Conventional oil is typically recommended to break in the engine

Subaru Full Synthetic Oil Change

Full synthetic oil is best for new cars because of their redesigned, more complicated, engines and need the extra, advanced protection against rust and build up. The only catch with a new car and synthetic oil is that conventional oil must be used until the engine is broken in.

When to use Full Synthetic Oil

In newer vehicles after the initial break-in
If you're driving in a high-performing vehicle

How often do I need an Oil Change?

When it comes to conventional oil, it needs to be changed more frequently at roughly 3,000 miles or once every 3 months. For synthetic, the higher price tag lets you go farther. One oil change can get you about 6,000 to 7,000 miles on the road before needing to come back.
