The 2009 Subaru Outback useS4.2 quarts of oil with the 2.5L engine and 5.8 quarts with the 3.0L engine. Subaru recommends using synthetic oil whenever You need to change it. There are two types of oil that are found on the market these days, synthetic and conventional. Synthetic is engineered in a lab to give You greater wear protection and longer life than the petroleum-based conventional option. Synthetic oil needs to be changed every 7,500 miles compared to 3,500 to 5,000 miles with conventional as well. You should still make an effort to check Your oil at least once a month. You will want to make sure that it is full and free from signs of damage or debris in the oil.
