Should I check my Subaru WRX motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Subaru WRX engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Subaru WRX oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces 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 WRX spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

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, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
