Subaru recommends having your 2022 Subaru Ascent’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Ascent in the above table. Outside of Subaru-recommended oil change intervals, your Ascent may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Subaru if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Subaru Ascent. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
