The 2004 Subaru Forester takeS4.0 liters (4.2 quarts) of 5W-30 engine oil. With a dry filter, You'll need about 5 quarts. Subaru recommends replacing this fluid every 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever You arrive to first. However, if You frequently tow a trailer, live in a dusty climate, or have a long daily commute spent at low speeds, You'll likely need them a bit more often. SAE 5W-30 is a synthetic oil. It is designed to reduce friction, prevent corrosion, and cool the engine in a wide range of climates. Low oil pressure can reduce performance, hinder fuel economy, and damage the engine. The average cost to have this fluid changed in the 2004 Forester is $110 to $140. Labor makes up about $40 to $50 of that total, so if You handle the maintenance Yourself, You can save a bit of money.
