Subaru recommends changing your 1998 Impreza’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Impreza may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Subaru Impreza. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Impreza’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
