2011 Subaru Outback Oil Capacity

The 2011 Subaru Outback oil capacity depends on which engine is fitted: the EJ253 takes 4.4 qt, while the EZ36D takes 6.7 qt. Both engines use 5W-30 oil. Check the engine designation in your vehicle documents or confirm it with a service professional before choosing a capacity.

Read each capacity as the listed oil amount for that engine, not as a figure that applies to every Outback. The difference between the EJ253 and EZ36D is the amount listed; the specified oil viscosity is the same for both. These facts apply to the 2011 model year and do not establish capacities for other years or trims.

The figures are reference amounts, and the amount needed during a service can depend on the procedure. If your engine or exact capacity is not identified here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
