★ Top Answer
For the 2018 Subaru Forester, it is recommended to use 5W-30 Synthetic oil for the 2.0 L 4Cylinder engine and 0W-20 Synthetic oil for the 2.5 L 4Cylinder engine, regardless of the temperature. The oil capacity is 5.4 quarts with a filter for the 2.0 L engine and 5.1 quarts with a filter for the 2.5 L engine. Both engine types require a torque of 31 ft/lbs for the drain plug. Regularly changing the oil and filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles is essential to keep the engine clean, running smoothly, and reduce friction between moving parts. The cost for an oil and filter change typically ranges from $20 to $30 in labor charges.
