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.

    The 2000 Subaru Impreza offers two engine options: a 2.2L box-4 and a 2.5L box-4, both requiring 4.2 quarts of 5W30 oil. Depending on the weather and how the car is used, Subaru suggests using different oil viscosities: 5W30 for temperatures below 104 F, 10W30 or 10W40 for temperatures above -4 F, and 30 weight, 40 weight, 20W40, or 20W50 for temperatures over 95 F and intense operation.
