The best answer is that you should take it to a service station that will recycle your oil. Guess I need to ask if you have ever changed oil in a car and if you are seeing something different here that is a problem. --Ken
Remove the plastic shield marked: "oil filter and oil drain" on the splash guard under the motor.Easy to reach easy to change.
Just like changing engine oil only in a different location and with different oil.
The oil in your subaru forester should normally be changed every 10000 miles or if diffrent will state it in your user manual. On most occassions the car will tell you when it is due for a service or oil change by displaying a symbol like a spanner that flashes or by some other form which will easily be recognized as a service.
Go to your nearest 10-minute oil change place, ask them to change your oil and hand them your keys and your wallet.Seriously, changing the oil on ANY car is the same as it has always been.

5 quarts
4..5 QUARTS
Engine oil capacity for the 2.5 liter is around 5 quarts. A little more when you change the filter, but 5 quarts will do. But then you'll find that out the first time that you change the oil.

yes
Best thing to do is to get the fluids from your local Subaru parts department if possible.
To jack the front end of the 2006 Subaru Forester to change the oil first make sure you are on a flat surface. Then, place the jack behind the front wheel on either side of the vehicle on the frame. Subaru recommends that you use a lift rather than jack the car.
