How to Change the Engine Oil and Filter on the Subaru Outback

Model: Subaru Outback MK 4, BM, BR - Years 2009-2014
Part: Engine oil

Let's see how to change the engine oil and filter on the Subaru Outback. Lift the car on a hydraulic ramp and remove the plastic cover under the engine. Unscrew the drain plug located at the centre of the oil sump and collect the used oil in a suitable container. Once drained, screw the plug back in tightly. Next, replace the oil filter located between the exhaust manifolds: apply oil to the seal of the new filter before screwing it in. Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to the quantities and SAE specifications listed in the owner's manual.
