Oil changes are one of the most important things you can do to keep your Subaru running strong. Most modern Subarus benefit from an oil change every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first-though some newer models may go longer. Your owner's manual has the exact interval for your specific year and model.

Regular oil changes protect your engine from wear and buildup. Castle Subaru McHenry's Service Department uses genuine Subaru oil and filters to keep your vehicle in top shape. They'll check other fluids while they're at it, so you stay on top of everything.

**Next step:** Check your owner's manual for your vehicle's specific schedule, or call our Service team at (779) 601-0797 to book your oil change. We'll make it quick and easy.
