Do you want to know how to help your Subaru run like new? You're in the right place! Our team of factory-trained and certified experts has put together a few simple tips so you can avoid costly repairs and keep your vehicle in top condition.
Follow the Service Schedule
One of the most critical steps to help keep your Subaru running like new is to follow your vehicle's maintenance schedule as laid out in the owner's manual. Performing routine maintenance at the intervals suggested in the Subaru maintenance schedule helps to eliminate minor issues before they become costly problems. Regular check-ups improve performance and safety, prevent unexpected breakdowns and accidents, and extend your vehicle's lifespan.
Check Fluid Levels and Tire Pressure Regularly
Between your regular maintenance appointments, frequent checks of your Subaru's fluid levels and tire pressure are a must. These quick checks are an easy way to ensure the longevity and safety of your Subaru.
Fluids like oil, coolant, brake, and transmission fluid are vital to keeping your car running smoothly. Operating your Subaru with low fluid levels risks damage to your engine, transmission, and critical systems.
Low tire pressure increases your chances of a blowout, causes your tires to wear unevenly, and affects handling and braking. Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy, extend the life of your tires, provide better handling, and increase safety.
Let the Engine Warm Up
Avoid starting your Subaru and immediately taking off, especially in colder weather. When an engine has sat for five or more hours, all the oil will have seeped into the pan, leaving little or none on the moving parts.
Cold oil is thick, and warming up your engine helps to reduce viscosity and enable it to flow more efficiently throughout the engine. It only takes a minute or two for the oil pump to adequately lubricate internal components and your engine to reach optimal performance temperature.
