Engine oil

NOTE

. The engine oil consumption rate is

not stabilized, and therefore cannot be

determined until the vehicle has tra-

veled at least several thousand miles

(kilometers). Even after break-in, when

the vehicle is used under severe driv-

ing conditions such as those men -

tioned in the “Warranty and Mainte-

nance Book let ”, engine oil is con-

sumed or deteriorated more quickly

than under normal driving conditions.

If you drive your vehicle under these

severe conditions, you should check

the oil level at least at every second

fuel fill-up time, and change the oil

more frequently. Please refer to the

“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”

for more details.

. If the oil consumption rate seems

abnormally high after the break-in

period, for example more than 1 quart

per 1,200 miles or 1 liter per 2,000

kilometers, we recommend that you

contact your SUBARU dealer.

& Checking the oil level

Check the engine oil level at each fuel

stop.

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and

stop the engine.

2. Pull out the level gauge, wipe it clean,

and insert it again.

3. Be sure the level gauge is correctly

inserted until it stops with the graphic

symbol “

” on its top appearing as

shown in the illustration.

1) Upper level

2) Lower level

4. Pull out the level gauge again and

check the oil level on it. If it is below the

lower level, add oil to bring the level up to

the upper level.

CAUTION

. Use only engine oil with the

recommended grade and vis-

cosity.
