What Type Of Oil Does the Subaru Ascent Take?

2022 Subaru Ascent driving on road

Regular oil changes are crucial to yourSubaru Ascent’s maintenance schedule. Failing to change your Subaru Ascent oil routinely will result in decreased performance on Myrtle Beach roads. So, what type of oil does the Subaru Ascent take? The recommended Subaru Ascent oil type is 0W-20 full-synthetic oil, which offers maximum protection from corrosion and improved gas mileage on Myrtle Beach roads. In the following guide, we investigate the recommended Subaru Ascent oil type more in-depth.

Synthetic vs. Regular Oil: What’s the Difference?

The recommended Subaru Ascent oil type is synthetic, but how does that differ from conventional oil? Why is synthetic oil suggested? Regular oil, or conventional oil, keeps your engine from overheating by lubricating the moving parts of your engine. Synthetic oil does the same exact thing. 

The difference is that synthetic oils have been refined with synthetic elements that prevent the oil from oxidizing (or wearing out) quicker than conventional oil. Conventional oil needs to be changed about every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, whereas synthetic oil only needs to be changed about 7,500 to 15,000 miles about once a year. 

When to Change the Oil In Your Subaru Ascent

How do you know when to change the oil in your Subaru Ascent? The oil light will usually flash on your dashboard when it’s time, but scheduling a Subaru Ascent oil change in Conway every 7,500 to 15,000 miles (once a year) is recommended. Keep in mind that your driving habits in Myrtle Beach can wear out your motor oil faster, including activities like off-roading and towing heavy loads.
