2004 Subaru Outback Oil Capacity

The 2004 Subaru Outback’s oil capacity depends on which engine it has: the EJ253 takes 4.4 qt, while the EZ30D takes 5.9 qt. Both engines use 5W-30, according to the listed specifications. Check your vehicle’s engine designation before using a capacity figure, since the amount is different between these engine options.

Read the capacity as the amount of oil specified for the engine, and use the matching 5W-30 grade. The figures here apply to the 2004 Outback and vary by engine, not as a single amount for every vehicle in the model year. If you cannot confirm which engine your Outback has, or need a figure not listed here, check the door jamb or the owner’s manual.
