11-10 Maintenance and service

API Service label

1) Indicates the oil quality by API designa-

tions

2) Indicates the SAE oil viscosity grade

3) Indicates that the oil has fuel saving

capabilities

In choosing an oil, you want the proper

quality and viscosity, as well as one that

will add to fuel economy. The following

table lists the recommended viscosities

and applicable temperatures.

When adding oil, different brands may be

used together as long as they are the

same API classification and SAE viscosity

as those recommended by SUBARU.

SAE viscosity number and applicable

temperature

*: 5W-30 is recommended.

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) affects fuel

economy. Oils of lower viscosity provide

better fuel economy. However, in hot

weather, oil of higher viscosity is required

to properly lubricate the engine.

& Recommended grade and

viscosity under severe driv-

ing conditions

If the vehicle is used in desert areas, in

areas with very high temperatures, or

used for heavy-duty applications such as

towing a trailer, use of oil with the following

grade and viscosities is recommended.

API classification SM (or SL):

SAE viscosity No.:

30, 40, 10W-50, 20W-40, 20W-50

1 2 ... 329 330 331 332 333 334 335 336 337 338 339 ... 410 411
