Can I prevent engine sludge in my Subaru?

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 RX’s engine! Routine oil changes may seem like an insignificant maintenance task, but trust us – your future self will thank you.

Is Subaru's recommended maintenance really that important?

Use your manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule to help prevent costly repairs later. Take care of your car, and it’ll take care of you. Follow the maintenance schedule written by Subaru to keep your car in its best possible condition. After all, the cheapest kind of repair is one that never has to happen!

What should I tell the technician when I bring my Subaru to the shop?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty Subaru RX, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.

Subaru Brake Repair

Subaru Radiator Repair

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 1988 Subaru RX 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.
