Should I check my Subaru Outback motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and eventually lead to Subaru Outback engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Subaru oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Subaru Outback exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

What does it mean if my Subaru Outback oil light comes on?

Do I need to replace my Outback’s oil filter when changing my oil?

How Often to Get 2024 Subaru Outback Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2024 Subaru Outback? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of 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 changing your 2024 Outback’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Subaru-recommended oil change intervals, your Outback 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, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Subaru Outback. 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.
