What kind of oil does a Subaru Outback use?
The owners manual says clearly: “0W-20 synthetic oil is the required oil for optimum engine performance and protection.”. I certainly have had vehicles that said different weight oils could be used based on your location. The 2020 Subaru Outback’s owner’s manual doesn’t make mention of any other viscosity.
When does a 2020 Subaru Outback leave Florida?
The 2020 Subaru Outback’s owner’s manual doesn’t make mention of any other viscosity. My car only leaves the state of Florida during the summer and then only for 2 weeks in July the temperature usually goes up, not down as I drive off the Florida Peninsula.
Which is better for Subaru Outback 0W20 or 5W20?
I am currently using Valvoline Synthetic 5w20 in my 2018 Outback 2.5L and it runs just as well if not better than 0w20, I also have Valvoline Synthetic 0w20 that I have used as well. There are no issues with running synthetic 5w20 in place of a 0w20 because the operational temperature (20 weight) will be the same.

GL-5 (75W-90) is correct for the rear differential for all models. But the 2015 Legacy/Outback FSM specifies SUBARU GEAR OIL EXTRA MT (or equivalent) for the front differential in all models. For the high-torque G1 (TR690) transmission mated to the 3.6 engine the FSM notes:
How to tell if your Subaru Outback has a bad differential?
Like Exoticbreed said..look at all rear bushings close..grab channel lock plyers and twist side to side on all control arms and if any move to easily you have bad bushing. But focus on that lateral arm bushing at frame. It seperates from the inner sleeve. o
How do you change fluid in a Subaru Outback?
Get one that has a plastic nozzle on the end with the little plastic springs on the side that holds it in the fill. Then you can pump the fluid from below and watch the overflow easier. I bent a piece of copper tubing and put it on the end of the pump hose. This hangs in the fill hole.
Where is the fill on a Subaru Outback?
The fill is up on the driver side close to the half axle. The second thing that’s a little different on the front diff is that it has a fill overflow plug. So, open the fill and the drain and drain the gear oil, then put the drain plug back in and torque it.
