2012 Subaru Outback Oil Capacity

The 2012 Subaru Outback’s engine oil capacity depends on which engine it has: the EJ253 takes 4.4 qt, while the EZ36D takes 6.7 qt. Both engines use 5W-30 oil. Check the engine designation for your vehicle before relying on a capacity figure; the amount is not the same across the two engines.

Read each capacity as the listed oil amount for that engine, and use the matching 5W-30 specification. These are engine-specific figures for the 2012 model, not a single capacity for every Outback. The facts provided do not specify whether the amounts differ by trim or give a separate fill amount for an oil change with or without a filter. If you need a figure that is not listed here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
