Is it bad to go 1000 miles over your oil change?
Some drivers push it an additional 1,000 or 2,000 miles, but even changing your oil that frequently may be unnecessary. Depending on your car, you might be able to drive 7,500 or even 10,000 miles between oil changes without putting your vehicle’s life expectancy at risk.
What happens if you go over 5000 miles between oil changes?
If you prolong your oil change long enough, eventually your entire engine will lock up and need to be replaced. Of course, this repair can cost thousands of dollars. Many times, when an engine shuts down, many people sell their cars as-is to a scrap yard and buy a new vehicle.
How often should you change the oil in a Subaru Outback?
Here are some pictures of a 1997 Subaru Outback 2.5l Engine with less than 100k on it that had engine oil leaks at every possible location. The owner admit tingly changed the oil every 7500 and has no idea what kind of oil was used. The sludge build up is not good at all.
Are there any over 100, 000 miles on a Subaru?
My previous experience with subaru is expensive repairs – head gaskets, water pumps, wheel bearing, axles, all seem to go over/around 100,000. I have found some with the mechanical issues mentioned that have been repaired, or addressed before issues occur. I can’t decide if this is a good purchase of not – thoughts on high mileage subaru’s?
Is it normal to change your oil every 3000 miles?
All car manufacturers have a normal and severe maintenance schedule, and if you’re driving habits fall into the manufactures definition of normal then maybe it makes sense to follow that schedule.
Can a Subaru Legacy go over 150k miles?
Had a couple of Subarus, liked them but did not ask either to go over 150k. Have a friend with a 6 cylinder Subaru and a BMW. He says the two 6 s perform similarly for him. That is complement. So, older Subaru Legacy or Outback with a six, maybe.
