If you're a driver near Augusta, ME in Bangor or Auburn that needs a reliable oil change somewhere close to home, the team at Charlie's Subaru is prepared to impress. With the synthetic oil that we use in each of our oil changes, your Subaru model can outperform one with conventional oil - while remaining cleaner, more protected, and steadily running in the extreme cold or heat. The experts in our service department is proud to provide such an excellent oil choice for our customers across the North Woods, and are happy to keep as many Subaru models on…

It seems to always happen when you least expect it: you're driving along, minding your own business and bam! One of those obscure looking hieroglyphics lights up on your instrument panel, leaving you to scratch your head and wonder what on earth it could possibly mean.

Sure, there are the usual suspects, like the check engine icon or the low fuel warning light. But what is that strange looking car with the wavy lines is trying to tell you? Or the curious horseshoe shape with an exclamation point in the middle?

With the month of April well underway, we can (almost) officially say that we're out of the woods when it comes to winter weather--or so we hope. Barring any unexpected springtime snowfall, it's time instead to brace ourselves for spring driving, which can certainly bring its own share of hazards, as well.

We all know the importance of having our car's oil changed on a regular basis. But have you ever stopped to wonder exactly why this seemingly menial service is so crucial?

There is perhaps no easier way to keep your engine performing optimally than by having your vehicle's oil changes at regular intervals. But not just any old oil change will do the trick--synthetic blend motor oil is specifically created and purified on a molecular level to provide superior and more comprehensive protection for your engine than conventional grade oil.

We've been enjoying a relatively mild winter so far this year (knock on wood), but be that as it may, we've still got a whole lot of winter left before we're truly in the clear.
