How Often to Get 2010 Subaru Tribeca Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2010 Subaru Tribeca? 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, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2010 Tribeca’s oil should be changed according to Subaru’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Tribeca in the above table. Outside of Subaru-recommended oil change intervals, your Tribeca may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Subaru if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Subaru Tribeca. 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.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2010 Subaru Tribeca motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Subaru has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2010 Subaru Tribeca vehicles.

In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your Tribeca’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Tribeca by considering your driving habits, and odometer.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2010 Subaru Tribeca

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Subaru Tribeca? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Subaru Tribeca engine to fail. 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. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Subaru Tribeca spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Subaru Tribeca oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Subaru Tribeca oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Subaru Tribeca to illuminate? Your Subaru Tribeca oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Subaru Tribeca? You should replace your Subaru Tribeca during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
