How do you change oil in a 2007 subaru impreza wagon ?

  1. Warm the engine up, Remove the Drain plug and drain oil out (Drain plug is on the drivers side of the pan).
  2. When oil is done draining replace the drain plug and install a new crush seal (silvery washer on drain plug)
  3. 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.
  4. Use fresh motor oil and coat the gasket on the new filter and install. tighten filter 1.5 turns past hand tight.
  5. 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.
  6. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled on the exhaust cross over pipe.
  7. Start engine check for oil pressure and leaks.

Check engine light just came in, but I just had an oil change and tune-up 3 weeks ago. Mileage 152,000.

In cases like this you are advised to take the vehicle for a scan which will reveal some codes that you can simply look up for confirmation @ http://www.troublecodes.net/Subaru/

Can't find oil level stick in engine compartment 2006 bmw 525i Whould you tell me where is it?

The BMW 525I doesn't have a dip stick. The oil level is checked using the "i" menu. Select service status and from there you should choose "check engine oil level".

Is there a dip stick for the gear box oil on 1996 subaru legacy

Not sure about the legacy, but the impreza has one. I imagine its is similar if its a 2.5L. It is located close to the fire wall on the passenger side of the car. Mine has a yellow handle.
Hope this helps.

Impreza 2000 turbo uk model

Yes, there IS a known oiling problem:

Subaru TSB 02-103-07
Applicability: All Turbo Equipped Vehicles
Subject: Turbocharger Oil Supply Mesh Screen
http://store.forcedperformance.net/merchant2/graphics/subaru_oil/02-103-07.pdf

"... If clogged or restricted, it will reduce or cut off oil supply to the turbo, resulting in failure. ..."

Your turbo may be toast! ***ouch!***
I have found more info on 2004 - 2007 models, but may or may not be applicable to your 2000 Impreza. I am not familiar with the the UK model differences, but if yours has AVCS use your favorite internet search engine to search for "Subaru AVCS" or "Subaru TSB". Good luck!
