2019 - 2021 Subaru Forester How to Oil Change & Oil Life Reset.
2019 - Present Subaru Forester (SK 5th Generation)
Pros
All-new, based on a stronger platform
Excellent highway fuel economy of 33 mpg
Clever packaging: big inside, small outside
Full-time all-wheel drive, 8.7 inches of ground clearance
Excellent reputation for durability
Cons
No longer available with a manual transmission
Max tow rating is only 1,500 pounds
Rough automatic start/stop restarts
Interior Comfort
Even though the 2019 Forester is narrower than competitors such as the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue and Toyota RAV4, Subaru has widened the front seating area by 1.2 inches, which enabled the manufacturer to move the front seats nearly an inch farther apart, making the area feel far roomier. Improved materials and a new wraparound dash highlight the 5-seat interior, and the infotainment touch screen (either a 6.5-incher or the preferable 8.0-inch unit) is right where you’d expect it to be - within easy reach atop the center stack. And thanks to the added wheelbase, the new Forester has significantly better rear-seat legroom. A 6-foot-tall passenger now fits very comfortably behind a 6-foot-tall driver. Impressive.
Exterior Styling
Subaru clearly didn’t want to mess with success, so the all-new 2019 Forester doesn’t stray too far visually. And while this new Forester looks much like the previous one, the pleasant update is just enough to let us know that significant improvements have been made beneath the skin. Front, side and rear underguards are standard, as is lower body cladding to protect against mud and rocks. Also, roof rails are standard on all but the base model. The new Sport model is distinguished by its gloss-black exterior trim and orange accents on the black underguards and roof-rail mounts, plus orange interior stitching and other accents.
Favorite Features
ENORMOUS CARGO OPENING
At 51.3 inches wide, the Forester’s rear cargo opening is huge, 5.3 inches wider than before and a full six inches better than the nearest competitor’s. Golf bags don’t need to be tilted to fit in back. An extra 1.1 extra inches of space between the rear-wheel intrusions also helps.
DRIVERFOCUS
This new tech, standard on the Forester Touring, uses infrared sensors and facial recognition to identify driver distraction or fatigue. If the driver has looked away from the road for three seconds, DriverFocus will sound a warning and even slow the car to a stop if necessary.
Standard Features
Key standard features on every 2019 Subaru Forester include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus EyeSight, the driver-assist safety suite featuring adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, pre-collision throttle management, lane-departure warning and lane-keep assist. Also standard: trailer-stability assist, brake hold, automatic climate control, electronic parking brake, automatic power door locks (a first for the Forester) and LED headlights. The 2019 Forester also has active grille shutters in the front bumper (for better fuel economy), plus a rearview-camera washer, which will come in handy if you spend a lot of time on dirt roads.
Factory Options
The base 2019 Subaru Forester is available with 17-inch alloy wheels and roof rails, a package bargain-priced at $600. On the Forester Premium, there’s an available all-weather package and push-button start, plus blind-spot detection, lane-change assist and dual USB ports in the center rear console. The Forester Sport can be ordered with the 8-inch MultiMedia Plus system and a 9-speaker Harman Kardon stereo, while automatic reverse braking is available on the more opulent Limited. The top Forester, the Touring, can be ordered with Black or Saddle Brown perforated interior leather. In-vehicle Wi-Fi is available through your Subaru dealer.
Engine & Transmission
One engine is available in the new Forester, a 2.5-liter flat-4 that produces 182 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 176 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm (versus last year’s 170 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 174 lb-ft of torque at 4,100 rpm). Subaru says 90 percent of its parts are new, and this includes a stronger block and a new direct-injection system. This boxer powerplant mounts to one transmission: a CVT built and developed by Subaru. In Sport and Touring Foresters, the CVT features a manual mode that simulates a 7-speed automatic transmission via shift paddles. On all 2019 Foresters, however, there’s a new SI-Drive system allowing the driver to select between smooth (Intelligent) or crisp (Sport) powertrain performance. EPA fuel economy figures for the 2019 Subaru Forester are 26-mpg city/33-mpg highway/29-mpg combined.
2.5-liter flat-4 (all models)
182 horsepower @ 5,800 rpm
176 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 26/33 mpg (all models)

Only video that shows how to reset oil life. Great video man

[@AxtuoAx]

Glad it helped

[@poughquagpops3379]

14mm oil drain plug. Why do so many videos claim it's a 17mm???? Baffling.

[@AxtuoAx]

they say it's 14mm but actually it's 17mm or vice versa

[@JDS-Dalton]

Thanks for this! Just performed the second oil change for my '22 forester wilderness, which is also the first oil change I've ever actually done.

[@AxtuoAx]

How did it go? Thanks for watching 👀 🙂 🙏!!!

[@JohnRutkowski-rn8ge]

Thx for the video Ax - I'm gonna do my first oil change and you hit all the key points without even a WORD! :)

[@AxtuoAx]

Ohhh yeahhj. You very welcome. Thanks for the feedback and watching 👀 😀 🙂 👍 Glad you liked the video

[@andrewweaver12]

Thanks for the video. Wanted to make sure there was no special procedure for this brand new vehicle. Glad its straightforward

[@AxtuoAx]

You're welcome! 🫡

You go to the extreme of wiping a tiny bit of residual oil from the oil filter base, yet when reinstalling the drain plug, old oil is still draining from the pan in a healthy stream. Weird.

[@AxtuoAx]

Thanks for watching 👀🙂🙏

[@betsywatts289]

Thanks for making the reset procedures so simple.

[@okozboky8681]

[@AxtuoAx]

welcome aboard, Dennis j!!!!! your feedback means a lot to me and I appreciate the support and love. thanks for people like you I make greater videos so people understand with no problem at all. God bless you and your family.

Thanks for the informative video. I just changed the oil in my daughter's Forester and learned a few things. I removed the access panel like you did but afterwards, realized that I was just supposed to pop off the four clips and leave the philips-head fastener so it could just rotate and swing out of the way (remaining attached). Another thing I learned is just how thin 0w20 oil is...I remove the plug and it came out so fast that is splashed everywhere! It was like water. I installed a Fumoto valve so I will better be able to control the flow better next time. As for the person who said it didn't work with their 2022...not sure about that since it worked perfectly fine on my daughter's 2023. Reset procedure seems to still work perfectly for me!

[@AxtuoAx]

Thank you for watching and I'm happy it could assist you! Your support means the world to me
