In the 2001 Subaru Impreza, both the 2.2-liter boX4 base engine and the 2.5-liter boX4 optional engine require 4.2 quarts of 5w30 oil. But before you dive into changing your own oil, hold on a minute. Modern car designs and equipment can make it complicated to do an oil change at home, especially when it comes to the filter. It can be quite challenging and may require specific tools, which can vary depending on the manufacturer. Sometimes, accessing the oil filter might involve removing other parts from the engine bay or the sump guard. So, unless you're experienced with DIY car maintenance, it's best to leave this job to the professionals. One thing you can easily do at home, though, is topping up various oils and fluids if their levels are low.

The 2001 Subaru Impreza can be equipped with either the standard 2.2L or optional 2.5L box-4 engines, both of which need 4.2 quarts of 5W30 oil, ideally. If the temperature is above -4 F, you can also use 10W30 or 10W40 oil, and for hotter temperatures exceeding 95 F or during heavy-duty tasks, consider using 30, 40, 20W40, or 20W50 weight oil.
