April showers brought May flowers and we can most definitely see and feel that Spring is in full swing from all this pollen in the air! National Car Care Month has passed but it is important to understand that bringing your Subaru in for routine maintenance visits is crucial to the overall performance of your vehicle. One often-neglected wear item that has a big impact on your vehicle is the cabin air filter! What Does The Cabin Air Filter Do? The cabin air filter acts as a screen to protect the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system from outside elements that could harm it, while simultaneously filtering the air you breathe. Your vehicle’s cabin air filter should be replaced every 12,000 miles. You may notice restricted airflow when it’s time to get changed. Genuine Subaru Cabin Air Filters Breathe easier with Genuine Subaru cabin air filters that provide a crucial line of defense against airborne contaminants, trapping them before they enter your Subaru HVAC system or the lungs of anyone in the vehicle. Feel free to ask our highly-trained Subaru technicians to show you your vehicle’s worn filter. You may be shocked by what you see – leaves, twigs, insects, soot, and grime can cover the entire surface and contaminate incoming air!

April is National Car Care Month
Winter has finally come to an end and spring is in full swing! There is no better time than April to get your car in tip-top shape for summer road trips or simply for driving around town! National Car Care Month in April is the time of year to give your car some extra attention. Basic maintenance is essential and can go a long way toward improving the safety and dependability of your vehicle, plus it helps avoid costly repairs down the road. Keep reading for a rundown of the car maintenance services we highly recommend for this time of the year. Show Your Subaru Some Love This April It is important to make sure your tires, brakes, and windshield wipers are ready for the rain and take care of any issues that may have occurred or been ignored during winter. Our team here at Competition Subaru of Smithtown strongly suggests scheduling a service to see a professional at our Service Center. Basic Vehicle Maintenance Check Tire Pressure & Tread Wear Most tire damage and wear is a result of driving on tires that are improperly inflated. Tires that contain the specified amount of air pressure last longer and contribute to vehicle safety. Tires that are not properly inflated can lead to poor traction and an increase in rolling resistance. Frequent tire rotations are essential to the life of your tires. It is recommended to rotate your tires after driving 5,000 to 8,000 miles to prevent uneven wear. Contact our Service Team with any questions or concerns you may have. Visit our Subaru Tire Store or shop for tires online. Check Brake System You may have used your brakes too often this past winter due to the snowy conditions. Icy roads adversely affect the car’s brakes due to the low friction between tires and the road. Most people change their brake pads after driving 10,000-20,000 miles and their rotors after driving 50,000-70,000 miles. You should also check to see if your brakes make a grinding noise or if your stopping distance has increased. We highly recommend seeing a professional to inspect your vehicle and help with these basic but very crucial maintenances. Check The Exhaust & Battery If you notice any unusual noises, it could indicate that your exhaust system may be damaged or have leaks. Exhaust leaks can be dangerous and must be corrected right away. A battery check will inform you if the connection is corrosion-free, tight, and clean. The battery should be securely mounted. If it is three years old or more, the battery should be tested and replaced if necessary. Schedule a service online at our Subaru Service Center or stop by our Express Service Center where no appointment is needed. Change Fluids Check the oil, filters, and fluids. Oil should be checked at every fill-up. Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the recommended intervals. Brake, transmission, power steering, coolant, and windshield washer fluids should also be checked regularly. Your car’s filters, including those for the transmission, fuel system, and interior ventilation, need regular inspection and replacement. Some of these maintenances can be done by yourself, but we highly recommend scheduling a service with a professional for the best results. Schedule a service online at our Subaru Service Center or stop by our Express Service Center where no appointment is needed!

Why Is My Subaru’s Check Engine Light On?
If a little yellow light illuminates on your Subaru’s dashboard when you are driving, you should get your car checked out as soon as possible. The yellow check engine warning light can mean anything from a loose gas cap to critical engine problems. While you may not need immediate service, never ignore the light. Ignoring the light can seriously damage the components of your engine and leave you stranded on the side of the road. Our team here at Competition Subaru of Smithtown is here to help you understand your Subaru’s check engine light. What Does My Subaru’s Check Engine Light Mean? Our team here at Competition Subaru is here to break a few things down for you to help you best understand your Subaru. There are several systems in your Subaru that are run by computers. This includes the automatic transmission, ignition timing, fuel timing, fuel mixture, and engine speed. The “check engine” light is part of your Subaru’s onboard diagnostics (OBD) system. When it finds a problem in the electronic control system that it can’t correct, the yellow light will illuminate to warn you that there is a problem. The light may vary from a picture of an engine to the words like “service engine soon” or “check engine.” In some Subaru models, when the check engine light turns on your Subaru may turn on other warning lights such as cruise control, VDC, Hill Holder, X-Mode, etc. The computer will store a “trouble code” in its memory that identifies the source of the problem. The light may also indicate dangerous gas emissions from carbon monoxide to hydrocarbon pollutants. Your Subaru’s monitoring system watches for escaping gasoline vapors due to a leak or missing gas cap, as well as exhaust emissions as they leave the engine and catalytic converter. What Should I Do When My Check Engine Light Comes On? Our team here at Competition Subaru highly recommends knowing and understanding what the lights on your dashboard mean. You can read your Subaru’s owner’s manual to learn the symbolism of each gauge to help determine the severity of the issue. Whether the light remains on or starts to blink, you’ll need to get your car checked by a certified Subaru technician as soon as possible. Schedule a service online or stop by our Express Service Center where no appointment is needed. What Does A Blinking Check Engine Light Mean? A blinking check engine light means there is a serious issue that needs immediate attention. We highly recommend pulling over in a safe area and getting your vehicle towed to a Subaru Service Center. What Does A Constant Lit Check Engine Light Mean? A lit check engine light may not be an emergency, but we highly recommend having your vehicle serviced sooner rather than later. This can help save you from paying for expensive repairs. Head to our blog and check out other helpful car tips like car battery tips and tire tips! Schedule a service online at our Subaru Service Center or stop by our Express Service Center where no appointment is needed! Be sure to also check out our service specials and parts & accessories specials! Stop by Competition Subaru of Smithtown and explore our large inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles.
