How to change the engine oil on a Subaru Forester

Model: Subaru Forester MK 4, SJ - Years 2012-2019
Part: Engine oil

In this video tutorial we will see how to change the oil and its filter on a Subaru Forester. First we have to lift the car and place a pan under the oil pan, now we unscrew the cap of the pan and let all the old oil drain into the pan, then let it drain for a few minutes. The old oil filter is located in the upper part of the engine compartment next to the engine itself, to remove it simply unscrew it. Once all this is done, we put the nut back on the oil pan and mount the new filter, now we add the new oil and we have finished the job.
