11-5. Engine oil
S11AE
CAUTION
. If the level gauge cannot be
pulled out easily, twist the level
gauge right and left, then gently
pull it out. Otherwise, you may be
injured accidentally straining
yourself.
. Use only engine oil with the
recommended grade and vis-
cosity.
. Be careful not to spill engine oil
when adding it. If oil touches the
exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad
smell, smoke, and/or a fire. If
engine oil gets on the exhaust
pipe, be sure to wipe it off.
& Engine oil consumption
S11AE07
Some engine oil will be consumed while
driving. The rate of consumption can be
affected by such factors as transmission
type, driving style, terrain and tempera-
ture. Under the following conditions, oil
consumption can be increased and thus
require refilling between maintenance in-
tervals:
. The engine is new and within the break-
in period.
. The engine oil is of lower quality.
. The incorrect oil viscosity is used.
. Engine braking is employed (repeat-
edly).
. The engine is operated at high engine
speeds (for extended periods of time).
. The engine is operated under heavy
loads (for extended periods of time).
. A trailer is being towed.
. The engine idles for extended periods
of time.
. The vehicle is operated in stop and go
and/or heavy traffic situations.
. The vehicle is used under severe
thermal conditions.
. The vehicle accelerates and decele-
rates frequently.
Under these or similar conditions, you
should check your oil at least every 2nd
fuel fill-up and change your engine oil more
frequently. Different drivers in the same
car may experience different results. If
your oil consumption rate is greater than
expected, contact your authorized
SUBARU dealer who may perform a test
under controlled conditions.
