The 2001 Subaru Forester requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil, with a capacity of 4.2 quarts. This oil helps to keep the engine parts cool, lubricated, and prevents excessive wear and damage by reducing friction between moving components. The cost of an oil change for this vehicle is $160, and it is recommended to have the oil changed every 30,000 miles. Signs that indicate the need for an oil change include increased engine noise, transmission shifting problems, shaking at idle, excessive vehicle exhaust, an oil smell inside the vehicle, or if the Check Engine or Oil Change warning lights activate.
