Prep your Subaru Crosstrek for spring and summertime adventures with the help of our dealership. At Beechmont Subaru in Cincinnati, we want to make sure your car or SUV continues running smoothly all season long. Here are some of our top spring maintenance tips for Subaru owners in Ohio.
Check Your Tires
After a winter of driving around Norwood, OH over snow and ice, your tires may be worn down. Inspect them for uneven tread wear and replace them if necessary. Proper inflation is also key - be sure to fill your tires to the recommended PSI. This step helps with gas mileage and handling. We recommend all-season tires for many models, and we can advise you on whether to put these tires on the Subaru Outback, Subaru Forester, and Subaru Legacy.
The Anderson Township, OH region is prone to potholes in the spring, which can damage tires. Keep an eye out for potholes and avoid them whenever possible.
Change Your Cabin Air Filter
A clean cabin air filter improves air quality inside your car and traps allergens, dust, and pollen. Replace it in the spring to keep your air fresh and prevent musty odors. Subaru Impreza owners will want to pay close attention here, as the cabin air filter is easily accessible. Our service technicians can change your cabin air filter quickly during an oil change.
Check Battery and Charging System
Batteries work harder in cold weather and may need to be replaced after winter. Have your car's battery tested to ensure it still holds a proper charge. Our techs also check the charging system to confirm it's recharging the battery as needed. This quick battery check applies to all Subaru vehicles, from the sporty Impreza to the family-friendly Ascent SUV.
Change Engine Oil and Filter
Regular oil changes are one of the top ways to extend the life of your vehicle. Old oil can sludge up and cause excess engine wear. Most manufacturers recommend changing oil every six months or 5,000-7,500 miles.
Our certified technicians at Beechmont Subaru use genuine Subaru oil filters designed specifically for your engine. Schedule an appointment today to keep your car running strong.
Inspect and Replace Wiper Blades
Precipitation mixed with spring road salt can quickly wear out windshield wipers. Check wiper blades for cracks, splitting, and streaking, and replace them every six months.
We stock a wide selection of wiper blades for Subaru models. Our service team can install new wiper blades when you bring your car to our service center near Newport, KY for routine maintenance.
