The 2002 Subaru Impreza requires 4.8 quarts of 5W-30 oil for its 2.0 L boX4 engine. It's essential to use high-quality oil to ensure the engine operates smoothly. If you neglect maintaining the oil, issues can arise, such as a strong burning smell, indicating a potential problem that must be addressed promptly to avoid serious consequences like engine failure or even an explosion. In addition to these risks, using bad oil can lead to a noticeable knocking noise from the engine and reduced gas mileage. It's important to change the oil regularly, typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Failing to do so can result in significant engine problems.

    The 2002 Subaru Impreza comes with two engine options: a 2.0L box-4 base engine requiring 4.8 quarts of synthetic oil, and a 2.5L box-4 optional engine needing 4.2 quarts of synthetic oil. Both engines use the same viscosities of oil, including 5W30 for temperatures below 104 F, 10W30/10W40 for temperatures above -4 F, and 30 weight, 40 weight, 10W50, 20W40, or 20W50 for temperatures above 95 F or for heavy-duty operation.
