★ Top Answer
In the 2014 Subaru Legacy, the choice of oil will vary depending on the engine type. For the 2.5 L models, it is recommended to use SAE 0W-20 synthetic oil. If this is not available, SAE 5W-30 or 40 conventional oil can be used, but it should be replaced with synthetic oil at the next oil change. The 3.6 L models should be filled with SAE 5W-30 synthetic motor oil for optimal performance. However, if necessary, a 10W-30 or 10W-40 conventional oil can be used temporarily, but it should be switched back to synthetic oil during the next oil change. It is important to only select oils with the API classification SM and the labels "ENERGY CONSERVING" or SN with the label "RESOURCE CONSERVING," or oils with the ILSAC certification marks GF-4 or GF-5.

The 2014 Subaru Legacy can use either synthetic or conventional SAE 5W-30 oil. While it is preferred to use synthetic oil, conventional 10W-30 or 10W-40 oil can also be used as an alternative if synthetic oil is not on hand.
