Subaru Impreza Oil Type
What type of oil does the Subaru Impreza take? That depends on the age of your model. If you drive a Subaru Impreza model that's from the 2012 model year or newer, OEM synthetic Subaru oil (0W-20 synthetic oil) is a must. If you drive a model from between 2002 and 2012, you should use 5W-30 conventional oil.
Now that you know what the correct Subaru Impreza oil type is, take a moment to learn about the differences between a conventional and synthetic Subaru Impreza oil change in Tampa.

Synthetic vs. Conventional Subaru Impreza Oil Types
Next time you change the oil in your Subaru Impreza, make sure you know what type of oil your Subaru Impreza takes, given its model year. As we mentioned earlier, models from between 2002-2011 should receive 5W-30 conventional oil and models from 2012 or more recently should receive 0W-20 synthetic oil. If you're curious, take a moment to explore the differences between conventional and synthetic oil below:
- Conventional Oil: Conventional oil is distilled from crude oil, and is typically more affordable than synthetic oil, but doesn't last as long.
- Synthetic Oil: Synthetic oil is also distilled from crude oil, but features additives that break the oil down at a molecular level, making it much more refined. Synthetic oil tends to cost more than conventional oil, but it lasts much longer while improving performance and efficiency.
How Often to Change the Oil in Your Subaru Impreza
If you receive a conventional Subaru Impreza oil change in Tampa or St. Petersburg, FL, we recommend that you change your oil and oil filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. If you have a newer model that requires a synthetic oil change, replace your oil every 7,500 miles. That said, be sure to check your Subaru Impreza owner's manual for specifics.
