The video above shows you how to add oil to your 2003 Subaru Forester. Before adding oil to your Forester, make sure that your engine was cold and that your car was parked on a level surface when you checked the oil level otherwise you won't be able to tell if your Forester has a low oil level. For most Subarus, if your oil level is at the minimum mark on your dipstick, you should add about a quart of oil. If you are unsure how much oil to add to your Forester, add a little bit at a time and check your dipstick frequently. This video shows you where the oil fill cap is located on your Forester and how to add oil. Adding too much oil to your Forester can be harmful, so it is easiest to add a little at a time.
