What is the oil specification for Subaru?
2 Answers
Subaru's oil specification is 0W20. In 0W20, 0W indicates that the oil can maintain normal fluidity at -35 degrees Celsius, allowing it to be circulated by the oil pump to various friction surfaces for lubrication while ensuring lubrication quality; 20 indicates that the oil can achieve a viscosity coefficient of 20 at 100 degrees Celsius. Taking the Subaru XV as an example: it is a new crossover model that combines sportiness and leisure, achieving an excellent balance between fuel efficiency, driving pleasure, and stylish, unique exterior design, making it an ideal choice for urban individuals seeking vitality and passion.
As a daily Subaru driver who has owned a Forester for years, experience tells me engine oil specifications are crucial. Subaru generally recommends 0W-20 synthetic oil for most models like Outback or Forester. I remember once when I casually bought oil with different viscosity, the engine noise increased and I had to pay for repairs. Always check the owner's manual to confirm - specifications may vary by year, like older models possibly using 5W-30. Engine oil isn't trivial; wrong choices increase wear and affect that unique Boxer engine performance. I change oil every 5,000 km as a habit to protect the car. By the way, synthetic oil is more expensive but lasts longer, saving some fuel costs. In short, don't cut corners - using manufacturer-recommended oil gives the most peace of mind.
