Recommended Oil for Subaru Crosstrek
The recommended Subaru Crosstrek oil type for the most recent generation is 0W-20 synthetic oil. Be sure to buy OEM Subaru oil, which is designed specifically to enhance the performance and efficiency of the Crosstrek on Wesley Chapel streets. If nothing else is available, at least make sure that the bottle of motor oil that you choose features an ILSAC (International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee) GF-5 certification mark.
Synthetic Oil vs. Conventional Oil: What’s the Difference When It Comes to the Crosstrek?
Both synthetic oil and conventional oil are distilled from crude oil. However, synthetic oil implements a few more additives that break down the viscosity of the oil at a molecular level. This thins it out without diluting it, resulting in much longer-lasting oil. In fact, synthetic oil can last anywhere from 7,000 to 15,000 miles, whereas conventional oil usually only lasts around 5,000 miles. Synthetic oil also does a better job of cleaning your engine and doesn't create as many deposits on your engine block.
How Often to Get a Subaru Crosstrek Oil Change
We recommend changing your Subaru Crosstrek's oil every 6,000 miles. However, it's best for you to look under the hood every month or so to inspect your oil. If it smells burnt or the viscosity is especially lumpy, it's best to switch your oil out at that time.
