The recommended oil type for the 2018 Subaru Forester iS5W-30 Synthetic in all temperatures for the 2.0 L 4Cylinder and 0W-20 Synthetic in all temperatures for the 2.5 L 4Cylinder engine. The capacity iS5.4 quarts with a filter for the 2.0 L 4Cylinder and 5.1 quarts with a filter for the 2.5 L 4Cylinder engine. Both versions use a torque of 31 ft/lbs for the drain plug. You need to use oil because it helps to keep the engine clean and running and will help with friction when parts rub together. You should change the oil and the filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or so. The cost of an oil and filter change is anywhere from $20 to $30 in labor costs.
