2016 Subaru Outback Oil Capacity

The 2016 Subaru Outback takes 6.9 quarts of 5W-30 oil with the EZ36D engine or 5.1 quarts of 0W-20 with the FB25B engine. The correct capacity and oil grade depend on which engine is in your vehicle, so use the matching entry rather than treating the figures as interchangeable.

The listed capacities are reference amounts for each engine; the actual amount needed can vary with how completely the old oil drains and whether the filter is changed. Check the oil level after filling and adjust as needed. If you are unsure which engine your Outback has, or need a figure not shown here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.

These facts apply to the 2016 model and distinguish the EZ36D from the FB25B; they do not establish figures for other years or trims. For any other capacity, oil grade, or engine-specific instruction not listed here, confirm it in the owner's manual.
