Subaru recommends having your 2012 Subaru Forester’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Subaru if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Subaru Forester. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
