Then, explore our service specials and contact Liberty Subaru to save on your next oil change in Libertyville!

The recommended Subaru Crosstrek oil type for the most recent generation is 0W-16 synthetic oil. Be sure to buy OEM Subaru oil, which is designed specifically to enhance the performance and efficiency of the Crosstrek on Lake Bluff streets. If nothing else is available, at least ensure that the bottle of motor oil you choose features an ILSAC (International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee) GF-5 certification mark. You may also use 0W-20 conventional oil, if necessary. Bear in mind that if you damage your engine using non-compliant oil, repairs won’t be covered by your warranty. When in doubt, always call a certified Subaru mechanic.

Both synthetic oil and conventional oil are distilled from crude oil. However, synthetic oil implements a few more additives that break down the viscosity of the oil at a molecular level. This thins it out without diluting it, resulting in much longer-lasting oil. Synthetic oil also does a better job of cleaning your engine and doesn’t create as many deposits on your engine block.

We recommend changing your Subaru Crosstrek’s oil every 6,000 miles or six months. However, you should look under the hood every month or so to inspect your oil. If it smells burnt or the viscosity is especially lumpy, switching your oil out at that time is best.

Now that you’ve read about the correct Subaru Crosstrek oil type, if you need a Subaru Crosstrek oil change, contact our service center at Liberty Subaru for assistance!
