How to do the service (oil change and oil filter) on the Subaru Forester 2?

Model: Subaru Forester MK 2, SG - Years 2002-2008
Part: Engine oil

Today we will find out how to carry out the routine maintenance service, replacing the engine oil and oil filter, of the Subaru Forester second series. First we lift the car and start by removing the plastic protection that we find under the engine; then we use a socket wrench to unscrew and remove the oil drain plug, letting it drain in a container for about ten minutes. At this point we use the appropriate wrench to unscrew the oil filter cartridge; let's replace it with the new one and finally pour the oil with the right specifications!

To replace the air conditioning fuse on the C3, locate the fuse position. Use a plastic lever to remove the cover located in the dashboard under the steering wheel (left side), then use pliers to pull out the damaged fuses in the compartment. Once this is done, insert the new fuses into the appropriate slots in the compartment. Finally, close the fuse inspection box with the cover and test for proper operation. You can also find fuses inside the glove compartment on the right side of the dashboard (remove the drawer if necessary).
