How to Change the Engine Oil in a Subaru Legacy

Model: Subaru Legacy MK 4, BP, BL - Years 2003-2009
Part: Engine oil

Before starting, open the front bonnet of your Subaru Legacy. Begin by unscrewing and removing the oil filler cap. After this, lift the front of your vehicle, then unscrew and remove the lower drain nut. This will allow all the engine oil to drain out. At this point, re-screw the drain nut, then lower the front. Once you have completed this step, insert the new oil through the upper filler hole, then re-screw the corresponding cap, and the replacement will be complete.

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
