What Oil Does a 2014 Subaru Outback Take?

Most engine oils today are multi-grade oils that can be used in a wide range of temperatures. The first number in a multi-grade oil, such as 5W-30, is the oil's viscosity, or thickness, when the oil is cold. The "W" stands for winter. The second number is the oil's viscosity at operating temperature. The lower the number, the thinner the oil.

For example, a 5W-30 oil is less viscous than a 10W-30 oil at startup, but both have the same viscosity once the engine is up to operating temperature. A 5W-30 oil is therefore thinner than a 10W-30 oil and will flow more readily to critical engine parts at startup, when the oil is cold.

The subaru outback calls for a 5W-30 multi-grade oil.

The 2014 subaru outback takes 5W-30 oil.

The 2014 Subaru Outback has a 15.9 gallon fuel tank and requires 5W-30 synthetic oil.

The recommended interval for oil changes on a 2014 Subaru Outback is 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently drive in dusty or dirty conditions, or do a lot of short trips where the engine doesn’t get up to operating temperature, you may need to change your oil more often.

If you don't change the oil in your 2014 Subaru Outback, the consequences could be pretty serious. Your engine could overheat, which could cause severe damage. Additionally, dirty oil can cause your engine to run less efficiently, which will lead to decreased fuel economy and performance. In the long run, not changing your oil could shorten the lifespan of your engine. So, if you want to avoid costly repairs and keep your Outback running smoothly, be sure to change the oil regularly.

The oil capacity of a 2014 subaru outback is 5.5 quarts. The recommended oil type is synthetic 5W-30.

The oil change interval for a 2014 subaru outback is 7,500 miles.

Assuming you would like a step-by-step answer:

First, find where the dipstick is located. On the 2014 Subaru Outback, it is on the passenger side near the front of the engine. Its handle should be bright yellow and easy to spot.

Next, remove the dipstick and wipe it off with a clean rag. Reinsert it and then pull it out again to check the oil level. The oil should be right at or slightly above the "full" line on the dipstick. If it is below that line, you will need to add oil.

To add oil, locate the oil fill cap on the engine. It should also be bright yellow and easy to spot. Remove the cap and slowly pour in oil until the dipstick reads "full." Be careful not to overfill it, as that can cause engine damage.

Once you've added oil, replace the fill cap and dipstick, and you're done!
