NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN
The performance and long life of your Subaru are dependent on how you handle and care
for your Subaru while it is new.
Follow these instructions during the first 1,000 miles:
• Do not race the engine.
• Do not allow the engine speed to exceed 4,000 rpm except in an emergency.
• Do not drive at one consistent engine or vehicle speed for a long time, either fast or
slow.
• Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency.
• Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
ENGINE OIL
Use 0W-20 synthetic, with one of the following specifications:
• API classification SN with the words “RESOURCE CONSERVING”, SN PLUS with the
words “RESOURCE CONSERVING”, or SP with the words “RESOURCE CONSERVING”.
• ILSAC GF-5 or GF-6A, which can be identified with the ILSAC certification mark
(Starburst mark).
ENGINE OIL CAPACITY
4.8 US quarts (during oil and filter change).
When the level is at the "low" mark, add approximately
1.1 US quarts of engine oil in through the filler cap to bring the
oil level to the “full” mark. For filler cap location see the engine
compartment on page 56.
