The 2008 Subaru Outback requires 4.2 quarts of oil for the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and 5.5 quarts for the 3.0L 6-cylinder model. Subaru suggests using synthetic oil whenever you need to do an oil change. Nowadays, there are two primary types of oil available: conventional, which is derived from petroleum and has a long history; and synthetic, a newer type designed to offer better wear protection and longer lifespan. With synthetic oil, you can go up to 7,500 miles before needing another change, while conventional oil typically lasts between 3,500 and 5,000 miles. It's recommended to check your oil monthly to ensure it's clean and free from debris or any signs of damage.
