Should I check my Subaru Legacy motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Legacy’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Subaru Legacy oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Subaru exhaust smoke gray or blue?

How Often to Get 2021 Subaru Legacy Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2021 Subaru Legacy? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Subaru recommends having your 2021 Subaru Legacy’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Legacy in the above table. Outside of Subaru-recommended oil change intervals, your Legacy may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Subaru recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Subaru Legacy. 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.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 2021 Subaru Legacy?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2021 Subaru Legacy motor oil: either synthetic or conventional.

During your oil change service, a technician will change your Legacy's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Legacy by taking into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.
