Oil and Fluid Services at Lundgren Subaru of Bennington
Pop the hood of your Subaru, and you'll see a handful of caps and reservoirs. But what do they all do? At Lundgren Subaru of Bennington, we're here to take the mystery out of your vehicle's vital fluids. From engine oil to coolant and brake fluid, each plays a critical role in keeping your Subaru running smoothly. Our certified technicians know exactly what your Subaru needs and when, helping you avoid breakdowns, overheating, and costly repairs.
Engine Oil
Oil is the lifeblood of your engine, reducing friction, carrying away heat, and preventing wear. Over time, oil breaks down and collects debris, making regular oil changes essential to engine health. Neglecting it can lead to serious engine damage and reduced efficiency.
Subaru Engine Oil Types and Intervals
Most newer Subaru vehicles require synthetic oil, which lasts longer and performs better under extreme temperatures, especially our cold New Hampshire winters. At Lundgren Subaru of Bennington, we use Genuine Subaru oil that's specifically formulated for your model. Depending on your driving habits and vehicle type, oil changes are typically recommended every 6,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. Our service team can help you stick to a maintenance schedule that keeps your Subaru in top shape.
Checking Your Oil Level
Monitoring your oil level between services is a simple but important habit. Look for a yellow handle under the hood near the engine, and pull it to find your dipstick. This will give you a visual indication of your oil level.
Checking Coolant
Coolant keeps your engine from overheating and prevents freezing in winter. If your levels are low or the fluid looks rusty, it's time to let our service team take a closer look. The reservoir is typically easy to see through, but on older models, you may need to remove the cap to check your coolant. Just be sure to do so carefully if the engine is hot; pressure can build up and release hot coolant that can cause burns.
Brake Fluid
Brake fluid is often overlooked, but it's crucial for safe stopping. Our technicians check it during multi-point inspections and recommend flushes as needed to keep your brakes responsive and reliable.
