Have you recently purchased a new Subaru Outback or a pre-owned model? Staying on top of oil for your Subaru Outback is key to keeping your beloved SUV up and running on Herriman roads for years to come. How often should you schedule a Subaru Outback oil change? The answer depends on your mileage, your Midvale driving habits, and what type of oil is required. Conventional oil changes should be conducted every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. On the other hand, a synthetic oil change on a Subaru should be conducted every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. All new Subaru Outback models require synthetic oil. Planning on doing a Subaru Outback oil change yourself? You’ll want to get the correct oil for your Subaru Outback, which we cover in the following guide below.
