2002 Subaru Outback Oil Capacity
The 2002 Subaru Outback oil capacity depends on the engine: the EJ253 takes 4.2 qt, while the EZ30D takes 6.0 qt. Both engines use 5W-30 oil.
Use the engine code to match the listed capacity to your vehicle. These figures distinguish the EJ253 from the EZ30D; confirm the engine or service details for your trim if unsure. Capacity can vary with the engine, so do not assume the other engine’s figure applies.
Oil quantity during a change may depend on how much oil remains in the engine. If your vehicle’s specific figure is not listed or you need to verify it, check the door jamb or the owner’s manual.
