 You and your active family love the great outdoors. That's why you bought a new Subaru Crosstrek in the first place! If you want to handle DIY oil changes in your Orlando driveway, you'll need to know the Subaru Crosstrek oil type.
Find out everything you need to know about the Subaru Crosstrek oil type with our guide.
Recommended Oil for Subaru Crosstrek
The recommended Subaru Crosstrek oil type for the most recent generation is 0W-20 full synthetic oil. We highly recommend OEM Subaru oil, designed specifically to enhance the performance and efficiency of your Crosstrek as you navigate the roads of Lake Mary and beyond!Â
If nothing else is available, choose a motor oil that features an ILSAC (International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee) GF-5 certification mark to protect your vehicle's pistons until you can get the right Subaru Crosstrek oil type.
Subaru Crosstrek Oil Type: Conventional vs. Synthetic
Both synthetic oil and conventional oil are refined from crude oil. However, synthetic oil contains more additives, cleansers, and anti-oxidizers to ensure the oil lasts longer and keeps your engine cleaner. Full synthetic oil can last anywhere from 7,000 to 15,000 miles, whereas conventional oil usually only lasts around 5,000 miles. Synthetic oil also does a better job of cleaning your engine and doesn't create as many deposits on your engine block. That's why Subaru and our team highly recommend full synthetic for every Subaru Crosstrek oil change.
How Often to Get a Subaru Crosstrek Oil Change
We recommend changing your Subaru Crosstrek's oil every 6,000 miles. It's still best to look under the hood and check the oil once per month to make sure it looks good. If the oil looks very dark, smells burnt, or looks lumpy, switch out your motor oil as soon as possible. Just head to our express service lane and we'll take care of you in no time!
