Can Subarus get engine sludge?

Yes, regular oil changes really ARE important! If you’re driving around with old motor oil, the broken-down fluid (and resulting debris) isn’t protecting your engine parts. In fact, it may even be causing slow damage to your Subaru GL’s engine! Routine oil changes may seem like an insignificant maintenance task, but trust us – your future self will thank you.

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

Yes! Subaru has written a maintenance schedule for your GL. 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?

When you bring your Subaru GL in for a repair service, give your technician as much information as possible. What's your driving style? What type of conditions do you drive in? Do you haul heavy loads? When and what was the last service you had if it was at a different repair shop? This information can help them make an informed diagnosis.

Repairs for Your Subaru GL Radiator

What does a radiator do, anyway? It assists in keeping your engine temperature within a safe range. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, your chances of an overheated (and broken down) engine go way up. In order to keep your engine in excellent shape for years to come, radiator repair is crucial. Additionally, you should replace the coolant/antifreeze in your 1989 Subaru GL at the intervals recommended by Subaru. Not sure what signs could indicate a faulty radiator? An abnormally high engine temperature, low coolant light on your dashboard, or coolant leaks below your car could all signify that you need radiator repair.
