๐ Subaru Storytime ๐
Another great Subaru example of how servicing your oil every 5000 km or every 6 months really protects your engine long term.
Today we completed a valve cover gasket job on an 11-year-old Subaru with 194,000 km. The spark plug tube seals have started to seep a little, which is normal at this age, and the inside of this engine still looks incredibly clean โจ
No varnish build up, no sludge, no signs of camshaft wear. After nearly 200,000 km, this engine is clean, healthy and performing like new ๐ง Ready for another 200,000 km of reliable driving.
At The Garage, we take pride in protecting your long-term automotive investment. A little more frequent servicing goes a long way ๐ช
Back in the 50s, 60s and 70s, manufacturers recommended oil and filter services every 5000 km or every 6 months for almost every vehicle.
Clients often tell us โthey donโt build cars like they used to,โ after costly breakdowns. With more than 100 years of combined experience, we see every day that modern engines stay reliable when they receive the same consistent care older vehicles once did.
Newer vehicles are built with impressive engineering and durability. They simply need the same maintenance attention that older generations used to get ๐โจ
