kilometers, contact your SUBARU dealer who may perform a test under con-
trolled conditions.
WARNING

cause skin disorders such as inflammation or skin cancer, so care should
be taken to avoid prolonged and repeated contact. To remove used engine
oil from your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.

not dispose of used oil and filters in household trash, in sewers or onto the
ground.
Call your SUBARU dealer, service station or auto parts store for informa-
tion concerning recycling or disposal.
● Do not leave used engine oil within the reach of children.
