What the service covers on the 2023 Subaru Forester

An oil change begins with draining the used engine oil and refilling the engine with the oil grade and capacity specified for the 2023 Subaru Forester. The service also includes a new oil filter, which helps capture contaminants as oil circulates through the engine. The oil-life monitor is reset after service, and underhood fluid levels are checked during the visit.

Engine oil gradually loses part of its additive package and its ability to carry heat and debris. Because that change happens before oil necessarily looks dirty, the manufacturer schedules this maintenance by mileage and time. For this model year, the published interval is every 6,000 miles for both the engine oil and oil filter.

An oil-change reminder light, mileage beyond the last service, dark or low oil on the dipstick, or a ticking or louder engine note at start-up can indicate that service is due. Drivers can schedule service with Mike Shaw Subaru.
