2011 Subaru Forester Oil Capacity

The 2011 Subaru Forester’s oil capacity and recommended viscosity depend on which engine it has. The figures here are engine-specific, so identify the engine before using them; do not treat one capacity or oil grade as applying to every Forester for this year.

For the EJ255 Turbo, the listed capacity is 4.4 qt with 5W-30 oil. For the FB25BA, it is 5.5 qt with 0W-20 oil. These are the listed amounts and grades for those engines, not a general rating for every trim or configuration. If your engine is not identified here, or you need a figure not shown, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.

The differences shown are by engine: the EJ255 Turbo and FB25BA have different capacities and use different viscosities. The facts do not specify additional changes by trim, oil-filter replacement, or service procedure. Check the owner's manual for the correct fill amount and checking instructions for your vehicle, and use the door-jamb label or manual to verify any detail not listed here.
