What is the Subaru Legacy oil type?

I’m moving cross-country next month and driving all my stuff in my Subaru Legacy. I wanna get a couple of bottles of oil before I hit the road, though. What kind should I buy?

The
Subaru Legacy
’s oil type will depend on the car’s model year. For instance, the 2013-2021 Subaru Legacies use 0W-20 synthetic oil, while the 2005-2010 Legacies use 5W-30. You’ll also find variations in the oil type depending on engine types—for instance, a Legacy with a 6-cylinder engine might use 5W-30 instead of 0W-20.
Your best bet is to check the owner’s manual of your car to verify the exact type of oil needed. Don’t have time for that? Try checking the cap of your oil tank in your engine—it’s usually marked with the type of oil you need.
