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.
Remove the plastic shield marked: "oil filter and oil drain" on the splash guard under the motor.Easy to reach easy to change.
Best thing to do is to get the fluids from your local Subaru parts department if possible.
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.
Your local auto parts store will recommend the correct filter based on the brands that they carry. --Ken
4..5 QUARTS
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.
On a 2005 Forrester you need to take out 8 or 10 plastic screws in the underneath splash shield then you can turn it out of the way giving you excess to oil plug.

That depends on the brand of filters that your auto parts store carries. While you are there checking out the brands they also have filter cross references that will tell you which filters that they carry will fit your Subaru.
