2024 Subaru Forester Oil Change: Specs & Service

The matching 2023 and 2025 Subaru Forester maintenance intervals specify an engine-oil change every 6,000 miles. The oil filter is replaced at the same 6,000-mile interval. Mileage and time both matter because oil gradually loses additives and its ability to carry heat and debris.

• Engine oil change: every 6,000 miles
• Oil filter replacement: every 6,000 miles
• Oil-life monitor reset after service
