Subaru questions we answer every week
Straight answers from our techs
Why is my Subaru leaking oil or coolant from the engine?
On many 1999–2011 Subarus with the 2.5L boxer, head gaskets are a well-known leak point — oil or coolant seeps externally, and some fail internally.
Warning signs
Oil or coolant leak · Overheating · Sweet smell · Coolant loss
What we do
We pressure-test the cooling system and inspect the gaskets before recommending the repair.
Why is my Subaru burning oil?
Some 2011–2015 Subaru engines use oil between changes, often from the piston rings.
Warning signs
Low oil between changes · Oil light · Blue smoke
What we do
We run an oil consumption test to measure it and recommend the right repair.
Why does my Subaru CVT judder?
A judder or shudder from a stop on a CVT Subaru can be fluid condition or internal wear.
Warning signs
Judder from a stop · Whine · Hesitation
What we do
We scan the CVT, check the fluid and for updates, and service or repair it.
Why is my Subaru humming at highway speed?
A hum that changes with speed on a Subaru is usually a wheel bearing — and Colorado's dirt roads and potholes wear them faster.
Warning signs
Hum or growl at speed · Changes when turning
What we do
Colorado Springs: Gravel roads and potholes are hard on Subaru bearings and axles.
We find the bad bearing and replace it.
Do all four tires really need to match on a Subaru?
Yes. Subaru's all-wheel-drive system is sensitive to tire size differences; mismatched tread depth can strain the center differential.
Why it matters
AWD strain · Driveline noise · Tire wear
What we do
We check tread depth on all four and tell you whether one tire can be replaced or all four should.
