Summer is the perfect time for travel, especially with the 4th of July weekend just around the corner. With so much free time about to be on our hands, many of us in the Pittsfield, Northampton, West Springfield, and Bennington, VT areas are likely gearing up to get on the road and enjoy some time away the places we visit every day. But, if you're planning on doing some heavy driving this coming weekend, we here at Haddad Subaru have some important reminders about checking up on your oil and fluid levels before you hit the road.
When it comes to getting the most out of your Subaru vehicle, the old adage of changing fluid and filter every 3,000 miles is simply no longer true. Subaru has gone the extra mile to engineer its vehicles to be long lasting, and that means more efficient use of oil across many of its new models. Some, like the 2016 Subaru Crosstrek can even go up to 6,000 miles or 6 months before needing new oil. Of course, this varies from model to model, so if you're looking to find out when you're due for your next oil change, feel free to visit our oil and fluids page, where we've posted a handy chart to help you find your next oil change date.
Of course, if you do find you're in need of oil or fluid service before you big weekend trip, the best place to have it done is at our service center in Pittsfield, MA. You can even schedule your service online to quickly and efficiently reserve a time slot that works for you. Our talented Subaru technicians will be happy to help you get your oil and filter changed fast, so you can get out and enjoy your Fourth of July road trip fun, so stop in to Haddad Subaru today!
