What oil does a 22 BRZ take?
The 2022 Subaru BRZ uses a full-synthetic 0W-20 engine oil. The engine’s oil capacity is about 5 quarts (roughly 4.8 liters) with the filter, and the oil should meet current API SN+ or newer and ILSAC GF-6 specifications. Always fill to the proper level on the dipstick after an oil change.
Oil specifications for the BRZ’s 2.4-liter engine
The BRZ’s 2.4-liter FA24 engine is designed for lightweight performance and reliable lubrication. Official guidance calls for 0W-20 synthetic oil to ensure dependable cold starts, steady lubrication under high-load driving, and optimal fuel economy. Using a non-approved viscosity or non-synthetic oil can affect performance and warranty coverage.
Here are the essential oil specifications and maintenance considerations for the 2022 BRZ.
- Oil type: Full-synthetic engine oil
- Viscosity: 0W-20 (GF-6/ API SN+ or newer)
- Capacity: Approximately 5 quarts (about 4.8 liters) with filter
- Quality standards: API SN+ or higher, ILSAC GF-6 or newer; OEM 0W-20 recommended
- Change interval: Follow the owner's manual; typically every 5,000–7,500 miles or as recommended for synthetic oil based on driving conditions
Following these specifications helps protect the BRZ’s engine and align with warranty requirements. Always consult the owner's manual for the exact specification and capacity for your vehicle.
Choosing the right oil brand and where to buy
Most reputable brands offer 0W-20 synthetic oils that meet API GF-6 standards. When shopping, look for 0W-20 labeled with API SN+/GF-6 and check the packaging for the engine’s required specification. Popular options include Mobil 1, Castrol, Pennzoil, and other major synthetic lines. If you drive in extreme conditions, consult a dealer or the manual for climate-specific guidance.
Notes for climate and driving style
0W-20 provides good cold-start performance and efficient lubrication across typical driving conditions. Do not substitute with a significantly heavier oil without confirmation from the owner’s manual or a service advisor, as this can affect engine protection and warranty coverage.
Summary
The 2022 BRZ takes a full-synthetic 0W-20 engine oil, with an oil capacity of around 5 quarts including a filter. Use oil that meets API SN+/GF-6 or newer and follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance intervals. For the most accurate guidance, always verify details in the owner’s manual or with a Subaru/Toyota dealership for your exact configuration.
