What Oil Does a 2007 Subaru IMPREZA Take?

Choosing the correct motor oil viscosity ensures your 2.5L engine stays well-protected across all climates. Subaru gave several options due to varying temperature operating ranges and oil performance.

• 5W-30: Recommended for all temperatures — the best all-around choice.
• 10W-40: Use above -20°C (-4°F) for enhanced high-temp protection.
• 10W-30: Acceptable in milder climates, especially above 0°F (-18°C).

Subaru recommends multi-viscosity oils meeting ILSAC or API SM standards for optimal cold-start performance and engine longevity. Choosing the proper grade improves flow during cold starts and ensures robust protection during summer heat or spirited driving. When in doubt, opt for 5W-30 as the universal pick. For help selecting the right oil, visit your local Costa Oil shop, where every oil change uses the grade recommended for your driving conditions.

2007 Subaru IMPREZA Oil Capacity

Your 2007 Subaru IMPREZA 2.5L takes precisely 4.4 quarts (4.2 liters) of engine oil with a filter change. Always check your oil level via the dipstick after service to ensure you’re in the safe zone. Overfilling can foam the oil and starve critical engine parts of lubrication, while underfilling accelerates wear. At Costa Oil, our technicians double-check fill levels on every job, so your engine gets exactly what it needs.

How Often Should You Change the Oil on a 2007 Subaru IMPREZA?

Oil change intervals depend on oil type and driving habits. For a 2007 Subaru IMPREZA using standard (conventional) oil, Subaru recommends changing every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. For full synthetic oils, you can safely extend intervals to 5,000 to 7,500 miles under light to moderate use.

• Conventional Oil: 3,000–5,000 miles
• Synthetic Oil: 5,000–7,500 miles

Driving in severe conditions — frequent short trips, stop-and-go traffic, hot climates, or towing — may require shorter intervals. Signs you may need an oil change sooner include engine noise, the oil warning light, dark/dirty oil, or a burning smell. Professional techs at Costa Oil can help you determine the ideal interval based on your driving routine.

Oil Filter for the 2007 Subaru IMPREZA

The oil filter screens out dirt, metal fragments, and other debris, keeping your Subaru’s oil clean and extending engine life. Using the correct, high-quality filter is vital. For this model, the recommended replacement is the Costa Oil Filter COF4622, designed to meet or exceed Subaru OEM specifications for fit and filtration efficiency.

Generic filters can compromise oil flow or filtering capability. We recommend always using an OEM-spec or higher filter. For premium filtration, pair your oil change with Costa Oil’s Costa Oil Air Filter and Costa Oil Cabin Air Filter to further protect your motor and cabin air quality.
