Most drivers want their used Subaru car to last as long as possible. In order to keep your car reliable and safe for a decade or more, there are certain steps that can be taken.
Here at Herb Gordon Subaru, our team of experienced Subaru dealers and mechanics are happy to share their tips about how to extend the life of your used car.
Change Your Oil
The function of engine oil is to lubricate and cool the tightly packed parts inside your car’s engine. Neglecting your regular oil changes can lead to metal-eating sludge, reduced fuel efficiency, and eventual engine failure. We recommend following the oil change schedule that is outlined in the owner’s manual of your vehicle.
Switch Your Filters
Your car relies on a number of different filters to keep debris from entering the engine. Air filters work by cleaning out dirt and dust in the air, while fuel and oil filters trap abrasive sediments. Our mechanics will check your filters every time you bring your car in for service.
Inspect Your Tires
As the direct connection between your vehicle and the road, your tires are critically important. During every inspection, we’ll check the tread level and the air pressure in your tires to ensure that they can handle the elements.
Change Your Fluids
Oil isn’t the only vehicle fluid that you need to keep up with. Other fluids that need attention include:
- Transmission fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Radiator coolant
- Brake fluid
Only Use OEM Subaru Parts
OEM Subaru parts sold at our Subaru dealership offer numerous advantages over cheap aftermarket parts. These include:
- Guaranteed fit and function
- Longer-lasting
- Warranty
