2008 Subaru Forester Oil Capacity

The 2008 Subaru Forester engine oil capacity is 4.4 qt for the EJ253 and 4.5 qt for the EJ255 Turbo. Both engines use 5W-30 oil. The listed capacity depends on the engine, so identify which engine your Forester has before using a figure.

Treat the listed amounts as reference figures rather than a guarantee of the final level after an oil change. Check the dipstick and add oil as needed, following the owner's manual. The facts provided list capacities and oil grade, but do not specify whether each capacity includes an oil-filter change; confirm that detail in the owner's manual.

These figures apply to the 2008 model and distinguish the EJ253 from the EJ255 Turbo. They do not provide information about other years or trims. If your vehicle's engine or required capacity is uncertain, confirm the specification on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
