Frequently Asked Questions

6 common questions answered

Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2017 Subaru Impreza has its oil changed?The 2017 Subaru Impreza's oil filter is scheduled for replacement every 6,000 miles according to the manufacturer's published maintenance schedule.

Replacing the filter with the oil gives fresh oil a clean filtering surface. The filter captures debris carried by the oil, and a loaded filter can open its bypass valve so oil circulates unfiltered.

  • Filter replacement follows the manufacturer's schedule.
  • The filter is replaced alongside the oil.
  • Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley can match the filter to the engine.
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2017 Subaru Impreza?An oil filter replacement includes a filter matched to the engine, a new drain plug gasket or washer where used, and a leak check after the engine runs.

The service replaces the filter with the oil so the new oil passes through a clean filtering surface. The technician checks the filter seal after operation to help identify leaks before the vehicle leaves.

  • Engine-matched oil filter.
  • New drain plug gasket or washer where applicable.
  • Post-service check for leaks at the filter seal.
What happens if the oil filter on a 2017 Subaru Impreza is not replaced?If the oil filter is not replaced, captured debris can load the filter and open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate unfiltered.

The engine still receives oil, but it does not receive filtered oil once the bypass valve opens. An oil-pressure warning, noisier-than-usual engine, or oil that darkens quickly after a change deserves attention and an inspection.

  • A loaded filter may allow unfiltered oil circulation.
  • Debris remains part of the oil's workload.
  • Inspection can help determine the next service step.
Does a 2017 Subaru Impreza need a specific oil filter?Yes, the filter must be matched to the 2017 Subaru Impreza's 1,995 cc, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder flat-4 engine.

Filters are not interchangeable across engines because fit and operation depend on the engine. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley selects the filter for the engine actually fitted to your Impreza without relying on a generic match.

  • Engine displacement is 1,995 cc.
  • The engine is a four-cylinder flat-4.
  • The filter is matched during service.
Can the oil be changed on a 2017 Subaru Impreza without changing the filter?The oil can be changed separately, but the manufacturer's published schedule calls for replacing the filter every 6,000 miles.

Replacing the filter with the oil prevents a loaded filtering surface from being carried into another service interval. The bypass valve can allow unfiltered oil circulation when the filter loads, so the vehicle's schedule and service history determine the appropriate maintenance.

  • Filter replacement is scheduled every 6,000 miles.
  • The filter captures debris from circulating oil.
  • Service history helps determine the next step.
