Schedule Your Subaru Oil Change in Durham - Hendrick Subaru Southpoint

Your Subaru was built to last for the long haul. That's why the automaker only uses the best parts, highest-quality equipment and components, and the best materials for the job. But, there's one thing in the Durham and Raleigh area that you can do to make sure your Subaru is kicking for as long as possible:

Oil changes.

Yes--it's not just something that old-timers talk about at the hardware store. Routine oil changes, performed by someone who knows what they're doing, is the best way to keep your Subaru BOXER engine in great condition.

How Often to Change Your Subaru Oil

Typically, the recommended oil change interval for Subaru Forester (non-turbo), Outback, Impreza, Legacy, and Crosstrek models falls in the range of 5,000 - 7,500 miles within a 6-month period. So, if you've gone 6 months between oil changes but you've only driven 4,000 miles, it's still time to come in and get your oil changed out.

But, your driving habits, environment, vehicle age and mileage, and conditions could all affect the optimal oil change schedule for your specific oil change schedule.

The best way to find your Subaru oil change interval is to check your owner's manual--it'll have recommendations for the right time to change the oil based on both normal and "extreme" (high heat/dust, frequent stop-and-go traffic, frequent towing, etc.) conditions. A close second? Ask the friendly expert technicians at Hendrick Subaru Southpoint. We know all the ins and out of oil changes for these cars and SUVs.

The Genuine Subaru Oil difference.

Engine designs vary from one automotive manufacturer to another, each creating different internal conditions that require the right type of oil to protect against heat and friction. This is why we recommend filling up with Genuine Subaru Oil, because it's the ONLY oil formulated specifically for your SUBARU BOXER^® engine.

Why choose Genuine Subaru Oil? 

• Engineered to clean and protect internal engine components between oil changes better than most leading aftermarket brands*
• Formulated with a unique blend of additives, detergents, and modifiers specific for the lubrication needs of the SUBARU BOXER® engine
• Reduces wear and cleans internal components to maximize engine life and maintain optimal fuel economy
• Each batch is lab-tested over 10 different ways to help ensure consistent quality

*Based on a 2017 independent study conducted by Idemitsu Lubricants America comparing engine protection results between 0W-20 Genuine Subaru Oil and leading aftermarket 0W-20 synthetic oil brands.

Checking your oil level.

Subaru recommends that you check the oil level on your dipstick at every other fuel stop. Depending on your driving style and other conditions, your engine may consume oil more frequently between oil changes. It's good practice to check the level regularly to help ensure your Subaru continues performing safely. It's easy and anyone can do it. Here's how:

Ever wonder what's under those yellow caps? 

Your Subaru uses different fluids to help support and protect its various systems. Our Factory Trained Teams inspect them each time you visit us for service during the Free Multi-Point Inspection. It also helps to keep an eye on these fluid levels yourself from time to time. It's simple - just open your hood and look for the yellow caps. Check out the videos below to learn more.
