Motor oil is important to your vehicle's engine. It lubricates the moving parts, reduces friction and wear, and helps regulate engine temperature. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dirt, debris, and engine wear particles. When this happens, it can no longer effectively do its job, which is why regular oil changes are so important for maintaining your engine's health and performance.
In general, most vehicles require an oil change every 10,000 to 15,000 miles, although this can vary depending on your specific make and model as well as your driving habits. Newer vehicles may have oil monitoring systems that automatically alert you when an oil change is needed based on your driving conditions. It's best to consult your owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval for your particular vehicle.
When it comes to the type of oil, you have two main choices: conventional or synthetic. Conventional oil is a petroleum-based product that has been used in vehicles for decades. Synthetic oil is a more advanced, laboratory-formulated product that offers superior protection and performance compared to conventional oil. Many newer vehicles require synthetic oil to meet strict manufacturer standards. Your Colonial Subaru service advisor can help you determine the right type of oil for your vehicle.
