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. Branded lubricants such as Penzoil or Castrol provide double the corrosion protection compared to aftermarket options. The cost for an oil change and filter replacement for the Subaru Forester typically ranges from $130 to $140 for parts and labor.
