For your 2012 Subaru Forester, it's best to use 0W-20 synthetic oil. If you can't find that, you can also use 5W-30 or 5W-40 conventional oil. Oil is essential for maintaining your engine's health and longevity by cleaning and lubricating it. It's important to regularly check your oil levels to protect your engine from damage. Remember, replacing an engine can be costly, so staying on top of oil maintenance is key.
