The 2010 Subaru Forester with a 2.5-liter engine needs 4.2 US quarts of 5W-30 motor oil. It should have regular oil and filter changes every 7,500-10,000 miles or annually with full synthetic oil, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or semi-annually with conventional oil. Synthetic oils offer advantages like improved lubrication, longer time between services, and better performance in harsh weather, especially cold temperatures.
