How to Change the Engine Oil of the Subaru Outback?

Model: Subaru Outback BL, BP, MK 3 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Engine oil

To change the engine oil, lift the car to gain easier access to the components under the engine bay. Here you will find the oil drain plug, which must be unscrewed to collect the used oil in a suitably positioned container. Once all the oil has drained out, remove the oil filter by simply unscrewing it: the filter is located next to the drain plug. After it has been replaced, access the top of the engine bay to top up the oil.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
