Ok i'm taking my car for an oil change now in 2 hrs. I know i have to use synthetic oil 5W-30 (i have an 05 STi). But i don't know how many quarts. So how many quarts am i suppose to use.

Thanks in Advance,
Terrence

5(4.8), but i would hope the place you are taking it to knows that.

second thought not positive that's correct because you have an sti, my bad. But regardless the place you take it to should know.

You do not "have" to use synthetic although it is ok to do so.
Your owners manual has all the information you need regarding oil types and amounts, that is the first place you should look.
And I hope you're going to a dealer or real shop for service and not a Jiffy Lube or similar place. Horror stories abound about those.

I don't have an owners manuel. the previous owners kept it

I'm pretty sure you can go to www.mysubaru.com and give them your VIN, and get a free owners manual.

5 liters (4.8) is what manual states. Fumoto Valve FTW, do it yourself

But anyways they did a good job and my car seems to have a better feeling lol. i love oil changes!
