How much oil does a 22 Subaru Ascent 2.4 take?
The engine uses about 5.1 quarts (4.8 liters) of engine oil when performing a full change with a new filter. This figure is the standard capacity for the 2022 Ascent equipped with the 2.4-liter turbo engine.
In practice, the exact amount can vary slightly depending on whether you replace the oil filter, whether you’re topping up after a drain, and any model-year revisions. Always double-check with the owner’s manual or a Subaru dealer for your specific VIN, and use the dipstick to confirm the final level after an oil change.
Capacity details for the 2022 Ascent 2.4L
The official specification for the 2.4L turbo Fa24 engine in the 2022 Ascent is 5.1 quarts (4.8 liters) of engine oil when performing a standard oil change with a new filter. If you skip replacing the filter, the total capacity is effectively the same oil volume but you should still follow proper drainage and topping procedures to reach the correct dipstick level. Always verify the exact amount for your vehicle using the manual and the dipstick during the refill process.
How to add oil correctly and verify the level
To ensure you pour the correct amount and avoid overfill, follow these steps:
- Park on level ground and turn off the engine. Allow the oil to settle for 5–10 minutes before checking.
- Open the hood and locate the oil dipstick; pull it out, wipe it clean, reinsert, and pull it again to check the current level.
- If you are changing the filter, plan to add about 5.1 quarts (4.8 L) total; if you are not replacing the filter, start with roughly 4.9–5.0 quarts and then top up as needed.
- Slowly add oil in small increments (about 0.5 quart at a time), checking the dipstick after each addition to avoid overfilling.
- After reaching the full mark, run the engine for a few minutes, turn it off, wait a few minutes, and recheck the level to confirm accuracy.
Following these steps helps ensure the oil level is correct and prevents damage from over- or under-filling. If in doubt, consult the manual or a Subaru service center for guidance.
Summary
The 2022 Subaru Ascent with the 2.4L turbo engine holds about 5.1 quarts (4.8 liters) of engine oil when performing a proper oil change with a new filter. Always verify the exact amount for your vehicle’s VIN with the owner’s manual, and use the dipstick to confirm the final level after topping up.
