1999 Subaru Forester Oil Capacity

The 1999 Subaru Forester with the EJ251 engine has an oil capacity of 4.2 qt, and the listed oil grade is 5W-30. These figures apply to the engine identified in the available facts; they should not be assumed to cover other engines or model years.

Read the capacity as the listed amount of engine oil and the grade as the recommended viscosity. The facts do not specify whether the capacity includes an oil-filter change, so confirm the fill amount for your service on the door jamb or in the owner's manual. Check the manual for the correct oil grade if the engine or trim differs.

The available facts provide one engine specification for this year, with no separate trim-specific figures or other engine capacities listed. If your vehicle's engine identification does not match EJ251, or you need a figure not shown here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
