Trust Capitol Subaru With All Your Subaru Needs

To get a better idea of when you need to have your oil changed, it's always a good idea to refer to the owner's manual of your vehicle, but most of them will suggest having the service done every 5,000-10,000 miles or at least once a year. Depending on the type of car you drive, your driving habits, and the type of oil used, you may have to have your oil changed more frequently. If you often drive only short distances, find yourself in stop-and-go city traffic, drive on dusty roads, or in extreme temperatures (hot or cold), this can increase your vehicle's need for fresh oil. There are a handful of symptoms that will let you know it's time for an oil change - the most obvious is when you see your Check Engine light illuminate on your dashboard, but there are other signs to keep an eye out for. If you hear a knocking sound emanating from your engine, dark and gritty oil on the dipstick, smoke billowing from your exhaust, the smell of oil permeating the inside of your car, or you happen to notice decreased fuel efficiency. Any of those signs means it's time to give the experts at Capitol Subaru a call.

One of the general rules of routine maintenance is that you should have your tires rotated at the same time that you have your oil changed. This makes it easy to remember and keeps your Subaru safe. Since most Subaru models come standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, your model may need to have your tires rotated more frequently, every 3,000-5,000 miles, versus front-wheel drive vehicles that require a rotation every 5,000-8,000 miles. Of course, you can count on our technicians to let you know if you need them to be rotated more often. If you notice uneven tire wear, your car is pulling to one side, or you feel odd vibrations in the steering wheel or seat, contact Capitol Subaru right away. We're committed to helping your Subaru increase its longevity on the road and to keeping you safe.
