What is the oil type for the 2010 Subaru Forester?

I’m about to do my very first oil change. I’m being extremely careful as I can’t afford to mess up. What type of oil should I use?

You got this! The 2010
Subaru Forester
uses 5W-30 synthetic oil. Synthetic oil helps your car run at its best and allows you to go longer between oil changes.
Oil changes are important, but they’re not the only car maintenance items that should be on your list. Here are some others:
  • Familiarize yourself with your owner’s manual
  • Regularly perform 60-second inspections
  • Check all the fluids in your car
  • Check and rotate your tires
By doing these tasks, you can maintain your car’s engine and resale value. It’s all about the effort you put into your car!
