The 2000 Subaru Impreza offers two engine choices: either the 2.2L 4Cylinder (EJ222) or the slightly larger 2.5L 4Cylinder (EJ251). Regardless of the engine you have, both require 4.2 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil. While you can temporarily use SAE 5W-40 if necessary, it's generally not advised. Thicker oils, like SAE 5W-40, can create more friction in the engine, potentially causing premature wear and tear, leading to early failure. It's best to stick with the manufacturer's recommended oil with the lowest weight, even if it costs a bit more upfront. Your engine will thank you in the long run.
