How much oil does a 2017 Impreza take?
The 2017 Impreza with the 2.0-liter FB20 engine typically holds about 4.5 quarts (4.3 liters) of engine oil when performing an oil change with a new filter, using 0W-20 full-synthetic oil.
Oil capacity and recommended oil for the 2017 Impreza
Here are the official capacity figures and the recommended oil to use when servicing a 2017 Impreza (2.0L). Note that actual amounts can vary slightly by market or engine variant; always verify with the owner's manual or a Subaru dealer.
- With oil filter installed: 4.5 quarts (4.3 liters)
- Without oil filter: about 4.0 quarts (3.8 liters)
When performing an oil change, start by draining the oil, replace the filter, and then add oil up to the full mark on the dipstick. If you drain the oil completely, you may need the full 4.5 quarts to reach the correct level after accounting for residual oil in the filter or drain pan.
Oil grade and service guidance
Subaru generally specifies 0W-20 full-synthetic oil for the 2.0L FB20 engine in the 2017 Impreza. Using the recommended viscosity helps ensure proper cold-start protection and optimal fuel efficiency. Typical oil-change intervals range from about 5,000 to 7,500 miles under normal driving; severe service may require more frequent changes. Always follow the maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual for your driving conditions and region.
Checking and maintaining oil levels
After an oil change, check the oil level using the dipstick, and top up in small increments if necessary to reach the full mark. Recycle used oil properly and ensure the engine is cool before checking to avoid inaccurate readings.
Where to verify official figures
For the most accurate specification corresponding to your vehicle’s VIN and market, consult the 2017 Subaru Impreza owner’s manual, Subaru-certified service resources, or your local dealer. The manual provides exact oil capacity, recommended viscosity, and maintenance intervals.
Summary
In brief: Plan on about 4.5 quarts (4.3 liters) of 0W-20 synthetic oil for an oil change on the 2017 Impreza with the 2.0L engine, using the filter. Use the dipstick to confirm the final level and adjust as needed, and refer to the owner's manual for your specific configuration and maintenance schedule.
