What kind of engine does a 2010 Subaru Legacy have?

Engine Type of the 2010 Subaru Legacy
The 2010 Subaru Legacy offers three engine choices. The Subaru Legacy 2.5i models are powered by a revised, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder boxer engine, while the 2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT models get a significant boost in performance from a 2.5-liter turbocharged/intercooled engine. At the top end of the cylinder count, the 3.6R model upgrades from a 3.0-liter flat-six to a 3.6-liter flat-six making 256 hp.
For non-turbo models, the 2010 Legacy uses 87 octane gas or higher. For turbo models, the Legacy uses 93 octane gas or higher. Subaru states that if 93 octane gas is not available, 91 octane can be used, but engine performance may be affected. Subaru also notes that although it should be avoided, 87 octane can be used temporarily for the turbo engines until the next fill-up.
The oil volume of the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine is 4.5 quarts (4.3 liters), and the 3.6-liter flat-six engine has a capacity of 6 quarts (5.6 liters). The manufacturer recommends using licensed engine oils with the dexos1 certified certification sticker. The correct type of oil for the vehicle is the SAE 5w-30 full synthetic for both engine options.
