The 2017 Subaru Forester suggests using 5W-30 Synthetic oil for the 2.0 L 4Cylinder engine and 0W-20 Synthetic oil for the 2.5 L 4Cylinder engine. The vehicle holds 5.4 quarts of oil for the 2.0 L engine and 5.1 quarts with a filter for the 2.5 L engine. Both engines require 31 ft/lbs of torque for the drain plug. Keeping the engine clean and operational is one of the primary benefits of using oil. The price of oil ranges between $7 to $13 per quart based on the brand and store. A typical oil change service costs between $40 to $60 for labor. Completing an oil change is relatively fast, taking about 5 to 15 minutes.

To keep the 2017 Subaru Forester running smoothly, it's important to use full synthetic oil. The 2.0L 4-cylinder Turbo engine requires 0W-20 oil and has a capacity of 5.1 quarts. Similarly, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine also needs 0W-20 oil and can hold 5.1 quarts as well.

Subaru's 2.0 turbo boxer engines need to use 5W-30 oil, not 0W-20. The 0W-20 oil is specifically designed for non-turbo Subaru boxer engines.
