Why is an oil change necessary?

An oil change is an essential part of Subaru Forester regular maintenance.

Dirty oil can cause the engine to lose lubrication and absorb too much heat. So, suppose you don't regularly change the oil. In that case, contaminated oil may lead to costly engine damage and repairs to follow.

Old oil also causes your Subaru SUV to underperform and makes the engine work harder. This situation decreases Subaru fuel efficiency, which leads to paying more for gas near Redwood City.

What happens during an oil change at Carlsen Subaru?

At Carlsen Subaru, we have experienced, factory-trained technicians in our service department who provide this service daily.

In effect, they will drain the old oil from your Subaru engine. Then, according to the Subaru recommendation, the technician will replenish your engine with the right type of fresh oil.

Our technicians will also replace the oil filter. An oil filter removes impurities before oil courses into the engine. If the oil filter is full of sludge and debris, it becomes ineffective.
