2017 Subaru Forester Oil Capacity

The 2017 Subaru Forester’s listed oil capacity depends on which engine it has: the FA20F takes 5.4 qt of 5W-30, while the FB25BA takes 5.1 qt of 0W-20. Match the engine code and oil grade to your vehicle rather than choosing a figure based only on the model name.

Read each capacity as the listed oil quantity for that engine, and use the paired viscosity grade when selecting oil. The figures shown are specific to the 2017 engine options in these facts; they do not establish capacities or oil grades for other years or trims. If you cannot confirm your engine code, or need a figure not listed here, check the vehicle’s door jamb or owner's manual.

Oil quantity can vary with engine, so do not assume the two listed amounts are interchangeable. For a different engine or year, confirm the correct capacity and oil grade on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
