Semi-Synthetic Oil Change at West Houston Subaru

Semi-Synthetic oil is formulated with a precise blend of synthetic and conventional oil. It offers advantages to the engine of using synthetic oil but at a lower price compared to full synthetic oil. Semi-synthetic engine oil is often referred to as synthetic-blend engine oil. Some of the high-performance models by Subaru are going to need full-synthetic oil, so please check the owner’s manual of your Subaru to make sure you are getting the correct type of engine oil change service. We have Subaru-trained and expert technicians at West Houston Subaru, so you are welcome to consult with them to determine the best type of engine oil for your Subaru.

Service Interval for Semi-Synthetic Oil Change

As semi-synthetic engine oil contains some percentage of conventional oil, it will not last as long as full synthetic oil. Under normal driving conditions, you can expect semi-synthetic oil to last 5,000 miles. Some vehicle manufacturers recommend changing the engine oil every 6 months regardless of the number of miles. You can maximize the life of semi-synthetic engine oil by using the Subaru OEM engine oil filter, which is available at West Houston Subaru. The engine oil filter will remove impurities in the engine oil, allowing it to last longer, and maximize the fuel efficiency of the engine.
