[MacJeffrey]

Subaru Forester 2.5 uses 5W30 engine oil. Here is some additional information: 1. Types of engine oil: Engine oil can be categorized into diesel engine oil and gasoline engine oil based on the engine type. In terms of quality and performance, engine oil can be classified into full synthetic oil, semi-synthetic oil, and mineral oil. It can also be classified according to viscosity grades, such as 5W-20, 20W-40, etc. Different types of oil have varying viscosities at different temperatures, as well as different cold and heat resistance properties. 2. Differences: Synthetic oil is artificially formulated through chemical processes, while mineral oil is extracted from minerals. Synthetic oil performs better than mineral oil but is also more expensive. Among synthetic oils, full synthetic oil is superior to semi-synthetic oil, offering better cleanliness, smoothness, and a longer replacement interval.
