Genuine Subaru Oil and Oil Filters
The ONLY oil and filter formulated specifically for the SUBARU BOXER® engine

The importance of routine oil changes
No motor oil lasts forever. The heat and friction produced between the moving parts of any engine eventually causes oil to break down and lose its protective properties (oil breakdown also occurs over time while a vehicle is left stationary). This is why it is crucial to follow the oil change intervals (at least every 6,000 Miles or 6 Months) inside your Warranty & Maintenance Booklet. Use it to find the correct mileage and/or time that your oil should be changed, and your oil filter replaced.**

You already know that your engine requires oil to lubricate and protect its internal parts from heat and friction. But did you know that only Genuine Subaru Oil provides this required protection? Thats because it was designed, tested, and proven over the competition to best meet the unique lubrication needs of your SUBARU BOXER® engine. Just as engines vary from one manufacturer to another, oil brands and types differ as well. Pairing the right oil with your engine can help make a significant difference in performance, fuel economy, and reliability throughout its lifetime. So, when your Subaru is due for an oil change, we recommend using the only oil formulated specifically for your engine – Genuine Subaru Oil.

Genuine Subaru Oil Filters
Oil filters are responsible for removing dirt, debris and impurities that may be in the oil circulating through your engine. Our Factory Trained Teams will replace your filter with a new Genuine Subaru Oil Filter during each oil change. With unique internal components, they are specifically designed to help keep your engine oil clean between changes.

  • Spring-loaded relief valve helps ensure oil flow during cold engine starts
  • Pleated filter media is designed to last between oil change intervals
  • Bottom assembly is designed specifically to help prevent leakage for Subaru vehicles
