Should I use synthetic or conventional oil for my Subaru?
The preference between synthetic and conventional oil really depends on the person. Conventional oil is naturally sourced. It works well for all of the Subarus that are on our lot, but synthetic oil has its benefits as well. For one, synthetic oil tends to be a bit more affordable than conventional. Synthetic oils are man-made, so each version of oil will be very consistent. Your vehicle will thrive from this consistency over time, and you may see an increase in the fuel efficiency numbers that you're achieving.
How can I tell if my Subaru needs new tires?
Purchasing new tires is an expensive investment, but the tires on your vehicle need to be in good shape if you want to stay safe while driving around Earlysville. Tires with a good amount of tread on them will provide you with good traction in a variety of different weather conditions. You can bring your vehicle into Umansky Subaru of Charlottesville's service center if you would like to have your tire quality inspected. We'd be happy to show you how to check your tire tread wear at home as well. You also want to keep an eye out for one or more tires that appear to be wearing down at a faster rate than the others. This indicates a problem that is larger than just worn down tires. We also encourage routine tire rotations when you come into our service center. This will help prolong the life of your current set of tires.
