Oil drain plug torque value for a 2025 Subaru Crosstrek?

[Jeep_Riot]

Hello all,

I traded in my 2015 Crosstrek for a 2025. I want to do the first OC at approximately 2K miles. On the ‘15 the torque value was 30.8 ft. pds. Can anyone confirm if it’s still the same on the ‘25?

Also, 0W-16! Dear Lord, hope I don’t drink it thinking it’s tea.

The 0w16 isn't the issue on that car. it's the CVT, just like your last Crosstrek

Change the CVT fluid ever 30k

If you don't want to use 0w16, you can always use 0w20 or even 0w30 or 5w30

If you use the oe style crush washers that actually crush... its easy to tell when its done crushing.. that's when I stop.

Amsoil website is a good source for torque specs for drain plugs.

haha, that's exactly what I have been using for 12+ years.

For Toyota/Lexus, I verified them later, and the torque specs are correct as they match the Toyota repair manuals.

I’ve never been a fan of those valves, but I’m sure they work just fine.
