The Difference Between a Dealership Oil Change and Quicklube:
This is a common questions that gets asked; is there really such a difference in a quicklube and an oil change service at the dealership? The short answer is yes. The longer answer is one that we think may just make the difference between your Subaru lasting as long as it should, or having costly repairs before it should.Some of the benefits we provide to our customers when they bring their vehicle to us for a full-service oil change include:
- Subaru genuine synthetic oil used when appropriate.
- OEM Oil Filters.
- Factory trained mechanics with specific knowledge about Subaru vehicles.
- OEM replacements parts (oil drain plugs, gaskets, etc.) made to factory specifications.
These may seem obvious, and they probably are. However, when you take your cherished Subie to the local quicklube shop, some, or all, of the above items are absent in the service. This is a crucial difference, because lower quality parts and oil can severely shorten the life of any car, wagon or SUV. Modern cars are far more efficient than older ones, and a lot of the reason for that is because they are engineered to very exacting tolerances and specifications. Engines with such meticulously designed components require maintenance of the same caliber. We think you'll find the few extra dollars spent on a genuine Subaru oil change are well worth it when you are spared far costlier repairs in the long run.
