What is the 1997 Subaru Forester’s oil type?
Can I use synthetic oil in my 1997 Subaru Forester? I’m not sure how older cars do with synthetic oil.

You can definitely use synthetic oil in older cars! In fact, the 1997
Subaru Forester’s
oil type is 5W-30 synthetic oil per the owner’s manual.If you’re unsure about which type of oil to buy, try talking to your local auto parts store about your car. They will usually be very knowledgeable about the products they have on hand and which ones will work best for you and your car.
