The 2006 Subaru Forester is equipped with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that requires 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil. It needs around 4.5 quarts of oil including the filter, and the drain plug should be torqued to 33 ft/lbs. The 5W-30 designation indicates that the oil has a viscosity of 5 on startup, with the "W" standing for winter, and a viscosity of 30 at normal operating temperatures. Regularly changing the oil is crucial for maintaining a clean and long-lasting engine. It's recommended to change the oil and filter every 30,000 miles, and a visit to a mechanic for an oil change typically costs between $60 and $70 for labor.

Can you believe they're asking for 30,000 miles before an oil and filter change? I usually go in every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
