For the 2012 Subaru Forester 2.5L, the recommended oil type for all temperatures is 0W-20. If you are curious about the capacity of your vehicle, it takes 5.5 US quarts with each refill. This oil type and capacity also hold true for the turbo engine in this particular model. When changing the oil in your Forester, remember to swap out the oil filter too. Avoid letting old oil in the filter mix with the fresh oil as it can reduce its effectiveness and lifespan. It's a good practice to check the oil level weekly to ensure your engine stays protected.
