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.

2021 Subaru WRX STI Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Subaru WRX STI? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Subaru WRX STI 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 WRX STI oil at home? 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 professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Subaru exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Subaru WRX STI oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Subaru WRX STI oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Subaru WRX STI to illuminate? Your Subaru WRX STI oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my WRX STI’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Subaru WRX STI every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
