In this video tutorial, you will learn how to change the oil and the corresponding filter on a Subaru Forester. First, lift the car and position a container under the oil sump. Now, undo the sump plug and let all the old oil drain into the container, allowing it to drain for a few minutes. The old oil filter is located at the top of the engine bay next to the engine itself; simply unscrew it to remove it.
