The 2011 Subaru Outback requires SAE 5w-30, 10w-40, or 5w-40 fully synthetic motor oil for its 2.5 liter V6 engine, with a 4.2-quart oil capacity. You can purchase these oils at mass retail stores, automotive stores, or online from reputable sellers. Prices per bottle typically range from $2.37 to $12.65. If you opt for a professional oil change, labor costs can add an extra $42 to $132. Consider investing in a $1 to $3 funnel to make the oil exchange cleaner and prevent spills.

For the 2011 Subaru Outback models, both non-turbo and turbo, the recommended oil grade is 5W-30. If you can't find 5W-30 synthetic oil, you can use 10W-30, 10W-40, or 5W-40 conventional oil for top-up purposes, but make sure to switch back to 5W-30 synthetic oil at the next oil change. The oil capacity for the 2.5 L model is 4.2 US quarts (4.0 liters), while the 3.6 L model holds 6.7 US quarts (6.3 liters) of oil.

I just want to clarify that the 2.5 engine is a four-cylinder boxer engine, not a V6.
