For the 2012 Subaru Impreza, the recommended oil type is synthetic 0w-20 with an oil capacity of 5.3 US quarts. It's best to change your oil every 7,500 miles or 1 year, whichever occurs first. By sticking to this schedule, you can prolong your engine's life, increase gas mileage, and boost overall performance. Regular oil and filter changes are crucial in eliminating engine particles and sludge. Neglecting oil changes will lead to numerous problems with your vehicle's engine as the oil deteriorates, becoming less effective and potentially causing damage to vital engine components. Synthetic oil, offering lower friction levels, is the superior choice for optimal engine performance and protection.
