Subaru Impreza Oil Capacity Specs
| APPLICATION / ITEM | SPECIFICATION | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| Oil and filter change | 4.7 US qt | 4.4 L; 3.9 Imperial qt |
| Engine | 2.0L naturally aspirated | 2018 Impreza |
| Specified viscosity | SAE 0W-20 synthetic | Do not substitute WRX 5W-30 row |
| Oil quality | API SN RC or ILSAC GF-5 | Final level by dipstick |
Use synthetic SAE 0W-20 meeting ILSAC GF-5 or API SN with Resource Conserving wording as stated in the guide. Refill short of 4.7 qt, circulate the oil and check for filter or drain-plug leaks, then allow drain-back on level ground and finish at the dipstick full mark. Subaru's guide shows roughly one quart between the low and full marks, but that is a correction reference—not permission to add a full quart without checking.
