How to reset oil life on 2022 subaru crosstrek

When you drive off the lot, our relationship doesn’t end; the Nate Wade Subaru service center is ready to help you continue maintenance and necessary repairs throughout the life of your ride. Keep up with oil changes and you’ll maintain the top condition Subaru is known for. By following a basic timeline, you’ll continuously lubricate the Subaru BOXER® engine and keep it running smooth. Our factory-trained and certified technicians know the unique ins and outs of Subaru engineering, and we’ve found the sweet spot between having oil changes done. With Subaru the basic suggested timeline for oil changes is either 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. There’s a basic rule of thumb that you have the oil changed every 3,000 miles or 3 months, but Subaru makes an oil that specifically extends the timeline between changes. By utilizing Genuine Subaru Oil made for Subaru mechanics, the care of your vehicle is not compromised by the added time. At every visit your Subaru is serviced with the utmost care to ensure it is ready to hit the road when you leave our service center. During your break-in period, we suggest stopping in just before the 6,000 mile or 6 month mark, since this is the first time your vehicle is serviced since breaking in the motor.

Determine the Right Grade of Synthetic Oil for Your Subaru

You may not know it, but there are different grades when it comes to synthetic oil, and our certified Subaru technicians will recommend various grades dependent on your engine size and vehicle type. We determine the semi fluidness of your oil based on friction, called viscosity. When your Subaru is equipped with a 2.5 liter BOXER® engine like inside the Subaru Outback our recommendation is to use 0w-20 synthetic oil. For the Subaru Legacy with a 3.5 liter 6-cylinder BOXER® engine we suggest 5w-30 synthetic oil, or the use of conventional oil is acceptable. If your Forester utilizes the same 2.5 liter engine as the Outback then our recommendation remains the same, but if your unique ride has a 2.0 turbo BOXER® engine for the Forester then the recommendation is 5w-30 synthetic oil. Both the Impreza and Crosstrek utilize the 0w-20 oil. With the WRX and BRZ for at least the very first change we recommend 5w-30 synthetic oil. While the process of an oil change can be simple, the specifics make it complex. There’s no one better to determine the best grade of oil for your ride than our Subaru specialists. Visit our service department today and speak to one of our helpful and knowledgeable technicians about any questions you may have.

1. First oil change prior to 6 months or 6,000 miles (whichever comes first)
2. Synthetic oil is strongly recommended for all Subaru engines
3. Recommend 0W-20 for non-turbo 4-cylinder engines
4. Recommend 5W-30 for turbo and 6-cylinder engines
5. Check with your Nate Wade Subaru service adviser for further details

Changing your oil is critical to proper vehicle maintenance and needs to be performed on a regular basis. With old and dirty oil, your engine will not be performing at its best, reducing your fuel economy and performance. Driving for extended periods of time with bad oil can potentially cause serious damage to your engine. By scheduling regular oil changes, you can help keep your Subaru running at its best for years to come. Some of the many benefits of fresh oil include:

• Fresh oil removes contaminants and other harmful particles from the engine.
• Helps remove excessive heat from the engine.
• Provides proper lubrication of the engine block, cylinder head, and turbocharger (if equipped).

A small investment now can save you lots of money later and can give you an opportunity to see if your tires need to be rotated or if your brakes need service.

How Often Should I Change My Oil?

Modern oils are engineered to last longer and protect your engine better than ever before. That said, there are specific intervals at which you should have your oil serviced. As standard, engine oil should be serviced annually or every 5,000 miles, whichever comes sooner. Consult your Owner's Manual for specific intervals, or check out our online Subaru maintenance schedule tool for more information.

What Kind of Oil Does My Subaru Need?

All cars are different and require different oils to maximize their performance and reliability. Our expert technicians use only OE-specified oils in servicing your Subaru, just as it would have from the factory. You can also consult your Owners Manual for specifics on oil type and quantity. Always be sure to use the OE-specified oil and filter, as not doing so could adversely affect your engine.
