Car batteries tend to be pretty low maintenance, but there are still some things you should do to keep yours in the best condition possible. Visiting your San Jose Subaru dealer for car battery service regularly is essential, and there are also things you can do at home. more Visit Your Bay Area Subaru Dealer for Car Battery Service The key to keeping your battery working well is getting regular battery service, so visit your Bay Area dealer approximately every six months. The mechanics at the dealership can perform several essential checks to see how your battery is doing. For example, they need to check your battery for acid stratification. If the battery is stratified, then it can't charge above 80 percent. The mechanics at your local dealer also need to do a battery load test to check whether or not the battery can charge up properly. If your battery can't charge properly, then the mechanics will run an engine diagnostic to figure out what's causing the problem. Once they know what the problem is, they can work on fixing it. Keep the Battery in Place The vibrations caused by driving can sometimes damage your battery's internal connection. You can minimize the effects of vibration by using a hold-down system to stop the battery from shaking while your car is running. It's important to check this hold-down often to make sure it's still keeping your battery secure. Take Long Trips Aim to drive at least 10 miles every time you drive. Understandably, this isn't always possible, but limiting trips that are shorter than 10 miles can help your battery work better for longer. Short trips don't give your battery enough time to fully recharge, and that has a negative impact on your battery's health. Don't Let the Battery Get Too Hot or Cold Extreme weather can wreak havoc on your battery. When it's very hot outside, aim to park in the shade, such as under a tree. A car cover may also be helpful if there's no shade around that you could park in. When it's particularly cold outside, aim to park in a garage. A battery blanket can also help keep your battery warm when it's freezing outside. Drive Regularly Drive for at least 30 minutes every week so your battery has enough time to fully charge up. If you don't drive, then the battery will only last a month or two before it dies. If you'll be away for more than a month, then it'd be wise to have a friend drive your car for 30 minutes every week so you don't have to jumpstart the battery when you get home. Stop by Stevens Creek Subaru in Santa Clara, CA for battery service today. We'll perform a battery health check and replace your battery when needed.

Your brakes are one of the most important safety features of your Subaru. To keep your brakes in good working order, you should not hesitate to bring your vehicle to your local Bay Area Subaru dealer for a brake service. Today, we're looking at everything you need to know about Subaru brake systems, including when service appointments should be scheduled and how you can maximize your brakes' lifespan. more Subaru Brakes: When It’s Time to Get Brake Service As a general rule, you should bring your Subie in for a brake pad inspection every year to 15 months or 12,000 to 15,000 miles. Typically, brake pads last between 15,000 and 20,000 miles. However, you should bring your vehicle in for a brake inspection and service sooner if you notice any signs that something is wrong, like hearing squealing when you brake. Like your brake pads, your brake rotors will need to be replaced eventually. If you stick to the recommended maintenance schedule, your rotors should remain functional for 50,000 to 60,000 miles. However, there are several factors affecting the longevity of your rotors, including how promptly you have your brake pads replaced when the friction material wears out. Bring your car in as soon as possible if your pedal vibrates when you brake. Have Your Brake Fluid Replaced Periodically One way you can extend the longevity of your brake system is to have your brake fluid replaced periodically. Generally, this vital fluid must ​be replaced every 2.5 years or 30,000 miles. It's important to have ​your local Subie dealership replace your brake fluid even if you don't have a brake fluid leak. The older the brake fluid gets, the more moisture it retains. Moisture retention ​degrades ​brake fluid's integrity in ​multiple ways. First, moisture ​retention impedes the brake fluid's ability to move the brake pistons. Furthermore, ​it lowers the brake fluid's boiling point. If you brake too hard for too long, your brake fluid can boil. Coast Another ​way you can maximize your brake system's lifespan is ​coasting before you depress the brake pedal. The faster you go before you brake, the more wear your brake pads are subjected to. Try to let ​the friction between the road ​and your tires decelerate your vehicle some before you press your brake pedal down. You should have a certified Subaru mechanic work on your brakes when you notice signs that the brake system is failing. It’s time to schedule a brake pad inspection at Stevens Creek Subaru in Santa Clara, CA if you don't see any signs of failing brakes, but it has been at least a year since your last brake inspection. Stop by our San Jose Subaru dealership to get your brakes done today!

Keeping up with regular oil changes is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to help make sure your Subaru runs smoothly for years. There are lots of reasons why sticking to scheduled service at your Bay Area Subaru dealership is a game-changer for your engine. more Why Oil Changes Matter It's all about lubrication! Oil keeps everything inside your engine moving smoothly by reducing friction. Without fresh oil, parts start rubbing against each other, wearing down faster than you want. The oil in your engine also collects dirt and debris that naturally builds up inside. Changing your oil regularly cleans out this gunk, keeping your engine clean and efficient. Oil also helps whisk away heat from the engine. This cooling is critical because too much heat can lead to all sorts of engine troubles. Fresh oil means better heat distribution, so your engine can stay happy and healthy. Finally, when your engine is well-lubricated, it doesn't have to work as hard to get you moving. This can lead to better fuel efficiency, and who doesn't want that? It's Been Too Long Since Your Last Change Generally, you need to change the oil in your car after you've driven about 7,500 miles, or about six months, whichever comes first. If you've passed that milestone, it's time to make a service appointment. Dirty Oil Fresh oil is usually a clear, amber color. As it ages, it picks up particles from the engine, turning darker and getting thicker. Pull out the dipstick at least once a month to check on it. If your oil looks grimy, it's time for a change. More Noise Than Usual Hearing your engine work harder than usual? That could be a sign your oil is too old. Old oil doesn't do its job properly, and that can lead to increased noise from your engine. If you hear a knocking sound, that means the parts inside your engine aren't getting the cushioning they need to avoid damage. Lights on the Dash Keep an eye on your dashboard. If the oil light or the check engine light pops on, your Subaru is signaling it's time to see the pros. You might just need fresh oil, but it could also be a sign of something more serious, so be sure to get it checked out right away. Smoke from the Exhaust Seeing smoke coming out of your exhaust? That's a bad sign. You might have oil leaking into the engine where it shouldn't, or you might have too little oil. This can lead to overheating. Either way, it's a sign to get your oil inspected. Staying on top of your oil helps you make the most of your Subaru's impressive engineering. When in doubt, check it out, especially for something as important as your oil. Call Stevens Creek Subaru in Santa Clara, CA, to schedule your next service appointment today.

Subaru cars and SUVs are renowned for their value and reliability. One favorite feature is all-wheel drive, and the best part is that you don't have to pay extra for it; it's standard on nearly all models. Visit your San Jose Subaru dealer to explore the benefits of Subaru all-wheel drive. more What Is All-Wheel Drive? All-wheel drive is a type of drivetrain; that's the system that sends power and torque to the wheels. Front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive vehicles only power one axle, while all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles power both axles. Torque distribution is important for traction control, especially on slick roads or in rough terrain. Is All-Wheel Drive the Same as Four-Wheel Drive? The key difference between AWD and 4WD is how the system distributes torque between the front and rear wheels. 4WD, most commonly found on trucks and full-size SUVs, delivers an equal amount of power to each axle. AWD, which is more common on cars and crossovers, is designed to be more flexible depending on the conditions. Most Subarus are equipped with full-time AWD. This means the system is always engaged, but torque is not always split evenly between the front and back. The drivetrain can adjust the balance of power, sending more torque to the front or rear wheels as needed. What Are the Benefits of AWD on Your Subaru? Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard on most models. The layout of the drivetrain is designed for even weight distribution and a low center of gravity, which makes handling more predictable and provides a more stable drive. Advanced sensors monitor traction and respond quickly by adjusting torque distribution to keep you in control of your vehicle. X-MODE Activate X-MODE on your Subaru Ascent, Crosstrek, or Outback to enhance off-road performance. In challenging road conditions, X-MODE shifts down and gradually increases torque to both axles. Similar to 4WD, X-MODE distributes power evenly between the front and rear wheels to ensure a tighter grip. With the available X-MODE Dual Mode system, you can choose between Snow/Dirt mode and Deep Snow/Mud mode. X-MODE is standard on the Subaru Solterra and all models in the Subaru Wilderness family. Why Should You Get Your AWD Subaru Serviced at Your Subaru Dealer? Whether you need routine maintenance or an advanced repair, the technicians at the dealership have the knowledge and tools to care for your Subaru. Subaru technicians undergo extensive and ongoing training to develop a rich understanding of how your vehicle works, and they have access to genuine Subaru parts and accessories, so you can trust the quality of the work. Ready to test-drive an all-wheel-drive Subaru? Visit Stevens Creek Subaru in Santa Clara, CA today to check out all the features Subaru vehicles have to offer. With an all-wheel-drive Subaru, you’ll be able to have more fun on your Bay Area road trips.
