The 2014 Subaru Forester requires 5W-30 oil with a capacity of 5.4 quarts. It's essential to change your oil regularly, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Failing to do so can lead to engine problems, such as a burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential damage like an engine explosion. Using old or low-quality oil can result in engine malfunctions, indicated by knocking sounds and poor gas mileage. Quality oil is crucial for ensuring your engine operates smoothly.
