June 16, 201411 yr I have a 2008 Outback 2.5 liter engine and I'm going to start changing the oil myself to save a little money. I bought the car used and I don't have an owners manual. (Is there someplace I can download a manual?) What oil should I use and what type of oil filter?
June 16, 201411 yr Not saying this is the best stuff out there; i use mobil1 synthetic 5w-30 and Wix filters (Napa Gold)
June 16, 201411 yr Ive been running purolator filters on my car for a long time. I buy 5w-30 Valvoline at Walmart and get filters at the parts store. I buy 2-3 filters at a time since I have multiple cars using the same filter.
June 16, 201411 yr cars101.com google i'd get an owners manual so you can be informed in the future. i've found them on google before for free. i'm sure ebay or other places sell them too.
June 17, 201411 yr The only thing I found nasty is the oil filter is now cramped in between the exhaust pipes and O2 sensors (2.5 non turbo EU). The 1.6 was so much easier to work on. I use 5w-40 but I think it makes no big difference with 5w-30.
