Close Maintenance Tips for High-Mileage Cars in Wesley Chapel, FL
To get the most out of your Subaru model, you’ll want to learn some of the basics when it comes to how to maintain a high-mileage vehicle. We have experienced service technicians who can help you extend the lifespan of your car by a considerable amount, so be sure to get in touch with our staff here at Subaru of Wesley Chapel.
Oil Changes
Typically, high-mileage cars are ones that accumulated more than 80,000 miles on their odometers, and with these models, you want to start by making sure that the engine is properly taken care of. While there are multiple factors that play into the health of a vehicle’s powertrain, the oil is certainly one of the most important. It’s key to keeping the hardware temperatures at a safe level, as overheating could occur otherwise. We always recommend checking the Owner’s Manual of your specific Subaru model to see what the manufacturer suggests for maintenance, as that can give you a good understanding of the timeline that you should be aiming to follow. Many cars can go for up to roughly 5,000 miles before needing an oil change, but keep in mind that no two vehicles are exactly the same in that regard, and yours could be considerably shorter or longer depending on how many trips you take along Route 56.
Battery Care
As far as the battery is concerned, you have to keep in mind that this component typically has a lifespan of three to five years. However, this is assuming that the power cell is taken care of and not regularly exposed to conditions that can directly affect it in a negative manner. The easiest way to gauge the health of the battery is by checking the casing for corrosion or swelling, since both are telltale signs of it needing to be replaced. That said, you might not encounter either of those when you check under the hood. That’s why we also suggest you check the voltage, and if you’re unfamiliar with how to do so, then feel free to schedule an appointment at our Service Department.
Transmission and Brake Fluid
Alongside the engine oil, other liquids that you should be paying attention to with your high mileage car are the transmission and brake fluids. When you’re headed to the Wesley Chapel District Park, you’re always accelerating and braking, which utilizes both of the aforementioned systems. After roughly 20,000 miles for the brakes and 30,000 miles for the transmission, you may start to note deficiencies in performance, and these could come as the result of low fluid levels. Our team can handle changing out these liquids for your vehicle when you come to our location in Wesley Chapel, so plan your visit at your earliest convenience if your car is in need of service!

“ Malcom was amazing and im very happy with my 2026 WRX Limited with only 900 Miles and CPO warranty!!! I found a Gem and they made it happen! I am an entrepreneur, investor and salesman...my income is weird. I wanted to finance something for once and Chase auto and Brad the finance manager I worked with got it done. Sold my 2019 WRX STI for this. Manual is great on country roads out in Alabama, not so fun in Tampa. My insurance is also about $180 less on the new one compared to my STI, so that's also a win. The dealership also got me a loaner vehcile for almost a week until my check cleared when I sold WRX STI. Very respectably they would not buy my STI because there was damage i was not aware of from the last dealership I bought it from. The used car manager was also great , and I sold at carmax for a very fair deal at his recommendation. Subaru of Welsey Chapel stands behind what they sell and helped guide me to get a good deal somewhere else. Even though its a 2019 WRX STI with 30k miles...there was damage not acceptable when it comes to reselling it on the lot at the dealership. It was also not acceptable to me and I sold it immediately. Very grateful for their honesty and flexibility throughout this unique process. I highly recommend this dealership, ask for Malcom! I also sold Subarus as a salesman for 4 years and was in car sales for 6 years total. Ive had Subarus for their reliability, safety and AWD for over 6 years. I am originally from Boston and travel back their to surf in the winter and I also love snowboarding, so I need a capable vehcile in all conditions. I like performance so this was my choice for my needs, with the roof racks i have im all set. But theyre some of the safest cars on the planet. Volvo is the best but its Luxury class(50k+) Subaru is without a question the safest everyday vehicle for families and daily driving. Ive seen photos of horrible accidents from customers walking into buy a new one...walking in. My kids will drive Subarus. Subaru also originated from a company called Fuji Heavy Industries , which was originally in aerospace technology. "Subaru" Is the actual Japanese word for the constellation of the Pleiades cluster, the Seven Sisters. They have some of the best engineers in the world. I also dont leave good reviews lightly. Ive loved all my Subarus and had no issues. And my first WRX i tuned and did a ton of Mods and upgrades on....no issues. If you're shopping for one definitely give Malcom and Wesley Chapel Subaru a chance to help you out!! Yes that's my truck too 🤫🫡🤑. ”
