Do Subaru EVs Need Subaru Oil Change Service?

With the increased amount of EV Subaru cars available on our lot at Serra Subaru Champaign, drivers are wondering whether these revolutionary models require Subaru oil change service. In fact, the lack of a combustion engine on Subaru EVs like the new Subaru Solterra means that they do not require oil changes like traditional gasoline-powered cars.

Here is an overview of the types of service required for Subaru EVs, as well as the benefits of going green.

Subaru EV Maintenance

Not only is a Subaru EV powertrain more efficient than a traditional combustion engine vehicle, it’s also simpler and easier to maintain. EV powertrains have far fewer moving parts and do not require the same petroleum lubricants. This means that when you purchase a Subaru EV like the Subaru Solterra, oil changes are a thing of the past.

However, EV Subaru models may not require oil changes, but they still do require other types of routine maintenance. It’s important to follow the recommended maintenance schedule as laid out in your car’s owner’s manual. Types of service required include:

• Tire rotations
• Brake pad replacement
• Wider blade replacement
• Fluid refills

Other Benefits of Buying a Subaru EV Model

In addition to the reduced maintenance requirements, Subaru EVs offer the following advantages:

• Fuel and time savings: Only pay $9 to $10 for a full charge when charging at home
• Electric vehicle tax credits and incentives: When leased through Subaru Motors Finance, the Subaru Solterra is eligible for a $7,500 incentive that will be used to lower the lease payment.
• Zero tailpipe emissions: Work toward a greener future
