2014 Subaru WRX oil questions that affect checkout

How often should I change the oil on a 2014 Subaru WRX?

Castrol's service data indicates a 6,000 mi / 6 mo change interval for the 2014 Subaru WRX. Your actual service need depends on driving conditions and the oil-life monitor reading. Always confirm against your owner's manual; severe-duty cycles may shorten the interval.

2014 Subaru WRX oil — questions before buying

Can I use 10W-30 or 5W-40 instead of 5W-30 in my 2014 Subaru WRX?
The checked source rows on this page list 5W-30 for the 2014 Subaru WRX. Use 5W-30 unless your owner's manual, oil cap, or service information for your exact engine allows another grade. If a retailer suggests 10W-30 or 5W-40, match the engine row first and confirm the grade before buying.
Did the Subaru WRX change its recommended oil viscosity across model years?
Yes. Checked records show the Subaru WRX has specified more than one viscosity grade across model years. 2014–2021: 5W-30; 2022–2025: 0W-20. Confirm the viscosity shown on this page matches your exact year before buying oil.
