Re: How do you change oil in a 2007 subaru impreza wagon...
- Warm the engine up, Remove the Drain plug and drain oil out (Drain plug is on the drivers side of the pan).
- When oil is done draining replace the drain plug and install a new crush seal (silvery washer on drain plug)
- Next you will need a Oil filter socket. Use the oil filter socket with a 3/8 drive ratchet with a 6 inch extension, remove the filter, it will be full of oil.
- Use fresh motor oil and coat the gasket on the new filter and install. tighten filter 1.5 turns past hand tight.
- Refill the engine with 5w-30 Conventional oil. (start with 4 quarts than check the dipstick) Subaru recomends havoline as this is what they come with from the factory.
- Wipe up any oil that may have spilled on the exhaust cross over pipe.
- Start engine check for oil pressure and leaks.
