One of the best ways to maintain your Subaru Crosstrek is to use the right motor oil. The recommended oil contributes to your vehicle’s efficiency, performance, and longevity.

These experts at our dealership in Columbus are here to help you take the best care of your Subaru! You can also contact our service department whenever it’s time for a Subaru Crosstrek oil change.
The recommended Subaru Crosstrek oil type for the most recent generation is 0W-16 synthetic oil. Be sure to buy OEM Subaru oil, which is designed specifically to enhance the performance and efficiency of the Crosstrek on Upper Arlington and Powell streets. If nothing else is available, at least ensure that the bottle of motor oil you choose features an ILSAC (International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee) GF-5 certification mark. You may also use 0W-20 conventional oil, if necessary. Bear in mind that if you damage your engine using non-compliant oil, repairs won’t be covered by your warranty. When in doubt, always call a certified Subaru mechanic.
Both synthetic oil and conventional oil are distilled from crude oil. However, synthetic oil implements a few more additives that break down the viscosity of the oil at a molecular level. This thins it out without diluting it, resulting in much longer-lasting oil. Synthetic oil also does a better job of cleaning your engine and doesn’t create as many deposits on your engine block.
We recommend changing the oil in your Subaru Crosstrek every 6,000 miles or six months. However, you should look under the hood every month or so to inspect your oil. If it smells burnt or the viscosity is especially lumpy, switching your oil out at that time is best.
