Maintenance and service/Engine oil
Engine oil
CAUTION
. If the level gauge does not come
out easily, twist the level gauge
right and left, then 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 fir e. If
engine oil gets on the exhaust
pipe, be sure to wipe it off.
& Engine oil consumption
Some engine oil will be consumed while
driving. Under the following conditions, oil
consumption can be increased and thus
require refilling between maintenance
intervals:
. When the engine is new and within the
break-in period
. When the engine oil is of lower quality
. When the incorrect oil viscosity is used
. When engine braking is employed
. When the engine is operated at high
engine speeds
. When the engine is operated under
heavy loads
. When towing a trailer
. When the engine idles for long periods
of time
. When the vehicle is operated in stop
and go and/or heavy traffic situations
. When the vehicle is used under severe
thermal conditions
. When the vehic le acc elerates and
decelerates 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. If your oil consumption
rate is greater than 1 quart every 1,200
miles or 1 liter every 2,000 kilometers,
contact your SUBARU dealer who may
perform a test under controlled conditions.

& Checking the oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (off)
position. If you check the oil level just after
turning the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
(off) position, wait a few minutes for the oil
to drain back into the oil pan before
checking the level.
2. Pull out the level gauge, wipe it clean,
and insert it again.
