2012 Subaru Outback Oil Type and Capacities

For the most longevity and efficiency of the Subaru Outback, synthetic oil should be used as well as genuine parts. You may go to the service station to get an oil change.

Here you will find all of these parts required to perform an oil change. I have done the work for you and found genuine oil and filter products on Amazon to make it that much easier for you.

The 2012 Subaru Outback requires 4.4 q and 6.9 q of 5W-30 for the 2.5 L engine and 3.6 L engine respectively. See the chart below for all recommendations.
