How Often to Get 2015 Subaru WRX STI Oil Changes

Need more info about 2015 Subaru WRX STI oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just 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 2015 Subaru WRX STI’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your WRX STI in the above table. No matter the mileage, your WRX STI may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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 areas, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Subaru WRX STI. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Subaru WRX STI?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2015 Subaru WRX STI motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Subaru has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best oil for 2015 Subaru WRX STI vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, one of our techs will change your WRX STI’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your WRX STI by considering your driving style, and odometer.

2015 Subaru WRX STI Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Subaru WRX STI? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Subaru WRX STI 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? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might 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 also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Subaru WRX STI exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Subaru WRX STI? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Subaru WRX STI 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.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Subaru WRX STI? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Subaru WRX STI oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to replace my WRX STI’s oil filter when changing my oil? Every time you change the oil in your Subaru WRX STI, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
