The 2009 Subaru Forester uses SAE 5w-30 or 5w-20 viscosity fully synthetic engine oil. This car has an oil capacity of 4.4 quarts. You can purchase the oil in one-quart bottles from most retail locations, at any automotives store, and online. You can expect to pay about $3 to $12 per bottle, and You will need 4 bottles for a complete oil change. First, drain the old oil completely from the nozzle valve at the base of the reservoir. Next, unscrew the cap on top of the tank. Using a funnel, gently pour in all 4 quarts of fresh oil. Return the cap to the reservoir, and close the hood.
