This is a new car.
Check your owner's manual (best) or talk to the dealer. You will want to make sure that you do not invalidate your warranty and those answers will be much better than anything you will get here.
Could you picture the scenario? mechanic: "Mr. Smith, I'm afraid you have no warranty on this ruined engine because you used the WRONG OIL." you: "But the guy on Answers.com said to use this..." Make sense?

Remove the plastic shield marked: "oil filter and oil drain" on the splash guard under the motor.Easy to reach easy to change.
5 quarts
4..5 QUARTS
yes
Best thing to do is to get the fluids from your local Subaru parts department if possible.
This question is asked frequently. Use the oil that is recommended in your owner's manual. This is different depending on the climate where you live and for the type of driving that you do. There is no one correct answer for this question. Good luck! --Ken

2010 Subaru Forester with 2.5L engine
Just like changing engine oil only in a different location and with different oil.
My 2008 XT manual says 4.2 quarts.
The best thing to do is to use the oil recommended in your Forester owner's manual for the climate that you live in, time of year, type of driving, etc. There is no one correct answer to your question. If you do not have an owner's manual, they are available from a number of eBay sellers. You could also ask the Subaru dealer nearest you. --Ken
