Here at Soobie Surgeons, our heavy work balances out with day to day services that all of our customers need to keep their Subaru on the road. The most essential service we offer is an oil change, which your Subaru needs every 5000-7500 miles. We’ve written the following article to detail our process for changing your oil.
Step 1: Open the hood of your Subaru, and locate the yellow oil cap. The cap is usually marked with the type of oil you’ll need.
Step 2: Once we’ve unscrewed the oil cap, we raise the Subaru on our lift. We then locate the oil drain plug before loosening it with a 17mm wrench and draining the oil.
Step 3: After removing the oil plug and letting the oil drain, we always replace the crush washer before tightening the drain plug again.
Step 4: As the oil drains from the oil pan, we locate the oil filter and remove it.
Step 5: After all the oil has drained, we replace the oil filter with a Subaru OEM oil filter. Before replacing the filter, we oil the gasket and filter to prepare it for a proper seal on the housing.
