Improve Fuel Economy with Routine Service at Bob Baker Subaru

Here at Bob Baker Subaru, our Service Department is staffed with a team of expert technicians that are trained to work with your specific Subaru model. To maximize your gas mileage, we highly recommend regular engine maintenance and routine oil changes while also making sure that your tires are properly inflated. There's no doubt that routine service will help you get the most out of your Subaru model! Below are explanations on how each of these services will help save you money at the pump!

Tire Pressure

Tire pressure is a small, yet effective adjustment that can help your fuel economy.  Improper inflation levels can reduce your fuel economy by 3 to 4 percent.  We recommend you check your tire inflation levels often to maintain it.  If you are unclear about the right tire pressure, ask one of our technicians at your next service appointment and we'll be glad let you know.  

Engine Maintenance

Engine maintenance can increase fuel economy significantly.  We recommend a followed maintenance plan that includes: tune ups, check fuel emissions, oxygen sensor testing, and spark plug changes when needed.  Any of the mentioned services can decrease your fuel economy when not repaired at the proper service interval.  Bob Baker Subaru recommends engine tune ups at your intermediate or major service interval to maintain optimal performance.  Check with our Service Department or view our online service interval page for more information on Subaru engine maintenance.

Subaru Oil

The right engine oil makes a difference in your fuel economy.  Fuel economy can drop by 2 percent with off brand oils.  We suggest the Subaru Oil Brand for your Subaru car or SUV. When you bring your vehicle in for an oil change at our Carlsbad, CA dealership only Subaru Oil will be used to ensure its best performance.
