Can I prevent engine sludge in my Subaru?

Subaru GL-10 engine sludge happens when motor oil breaks down, thickens and gathers debris. The goop can damage your engine and lead to overheating. Work to prevent engine sludge by investing in routine oil changes, using Subaru-approved oil, and avoiding short trips.

Do I need to follow Subaru's recommended maintenance schedule?

Yes! Subaru has written a maintenance schedule for your GL-10. Since they made your vehicle, they know it well! Your manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule gives you solid guidelines for the frequency of specific services, and it can help you know when to replace certain parts before they cause secondary issues in your car.

What should I tell the technician when I bring my Subaru to the shop?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty Subaru GL-10, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.

Subaru GL-10 Radiator Repair Service

What does a radiator do, anyway? It assists in keeping your engine temperature within a safe range. When your radiator fails or malfunctions, your engine can overheat and potentially break down. Keeping the radiator in working order is vital to long-term engine performance. To properly maintain your radiator, you should replace the coolant/antifreeze in your 1986 Subaru GL-10 at the intervals recommended by Subaru. If you have coolant leaks under your car, an illuminated “low coolant” light, or a higher than usual engine temperature on your dashboard thermometer, these signs could indicate that your radiator needs service.
