Should I check my Subaru BRZ motor oil level?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your BRZ’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Subaru oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Subaru BRZ spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Subaru recommends changing your 2016 BRZ’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your BRZ may need its oil changed ASAP 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.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Subaru BRZ. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
