Oil Filters

The main purpose of oil in your Subaru's engine is to reduce the amount of friction and heat that parts of the engine produce when they rub together. Changing your oil on a regular basis and routine maintenance is so important because of this fact. It's important to also replace the oil filter when you change your oil. The filter is what helps to remove contaminants and pollutants that make their way to your car's engine area - these can range from dust to metal bits. Worn out or old oil filters are more likely to let these contaminants pass through. This can cause them to scrape against your engine and cause it to wear out more quickly. Every time you change your oil, you should get your filter replaced so you can keep to a healthy maintenance schedule. There can also be signs to pay attention to that might indicate you need to change out the oil filter sooner versus later. It's important to pay attention to these so you can get a new filter as soon as possible. You could start to notice a decrease in engine power on the road or your fuel efficiency dropping.
