Subaru recommends maintenance at regular intervals-typically every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first-for oil and filter changes, and more comprehensive checks at longer intervals. Your owner's manual outlines the exact schedule for your model year and driving conditions.

Castle Subaru McHenry's service team knows these schedules inside out and can help you stay on track. Regular maintenance keeps your warranty valid, improves reliability, and catches small issues before they become expensive. Our service advisors will walk you through what your Subaru needs and when.
