Not sure how or where to get your Subaru GL’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too.

Subaru recommends having your 1984 Subaru GL’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your GL in the above table. Outside of Subaru-recommended oil change intervals, your GL may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, 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 GL. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Subaru has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1984 GL.
