Importance of Oil Changes

Having fresh engine oil means your engine components receive proper lubrication. Fresh oil helps prevent friction buildup, which can damage your vehicle. Since your engine generates a lot of heat, oil helps dissipate it. In addition, engine oil cleans your engine and removes contaminants that can lead to sticky sludge that compromises engine performance and wears down your engine.

Oil Changes Frequently Asked Questions

What Kind of Oil Do I Need?

The type of oil needed for an oil change depends on the vehicle as well as the vehicle's age. For example, if you own a new Subaru Outback near Tilton, we highly recommend using fully synthetic oil to optimize performance. If you have a Subaru vehicle that's over 15 years old, synthetic-blend oil delivers a performance upgrade. Older vehicles can use conventional oil, depending on their engine design.

Does the Oil Filter Need to Be Changed with Your Oil?

Absolutely, when you service your vehicle here near Hooksett, we automatically change the oil filter to prevent debris and other particulates from entering your engine oil.

Does a New Subaru Need an Oil Change?

Yes. We recommend you have your oil change once every 10,000 miles or so with a new Subaru vehicle near Laconia.

How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

The interval of oil changes depends on the vehicle's mileage and age. If you have a newer vehicle under 100,000 miles, we recommend changing your oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or one year. Our Tilton area service center will replace your oil with highly efficient synthetic oil for maximum performance. If you have an engine over 100,000 miles, we recommend bringing your vehicle anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 miles every six months.

It's important to remember that your engine oil life depends on your daily driving habits. If you find yourself stuck in stop-and-go traffic, your engine oil will suffer, meaning you'll need to service your engine oil sooner. Other driving conditions to consider include driving in frigid temperatures around Manchester as well as towing heavy cargo loads on a long journey.

Can I Mix Oil with an Oil Change?

We highly recommend you do not do this. While it may not damage your engine in the short term, there are no benefits in doing so at our dealership serving Loudon.

Checking Your Oil

You can see the state of your oil and see if an oil change is needed by removing the dipstick. Review your Subaru's owner's manual and have a cool engine before checking the dipstick. Use a clean cloth to inspect the condition of the oil, and if it's anything other than translucent, golden-brown, you will likely need an oil change.

What Are Under the Yellow Caps?
