2016 Subaru WRX Oil Change: Specs & Service

That interval comes from Subaru’s published maintenance schedule for this model year. Oil loses additives and its ability to carry heat and debris before it necessarily looks dirty. Keeping service records can help document routine maintenance for your vehicle’s history.

• Engine oil interval: every 6,000 miles
• Oil filter interval: every 6,000 miles
• Service includes an oil-life monitor reset

Mike Shaw Subaru also checks underhood fluid levels during the visit. The service is designed to replace oil that has accumulated heat and debris during normal driving. After completion, the visit can be logged in the vehicle’s service history.

• Drain the used engine oil
• Install a new oil filter
• Check underhood fluid levels

Oil appearance alone should not determine service timing because oil can lose important additives before it looks dirty. A reminder light or mileage beyond the last service is a practical reason to schedule an appointment. Mike Shaw Subaru serves drivers in Thornton, CO, with Subaru service scheduling.

Drivers who notice an oil-change reminder, low or dark oil on the dipstick, or a ticking or louder engine note at startup should arrange an inspection and service appointment.
