Maintenance and Service11

1) Full level
2) Low level
3) Approximately 1.1 US qt (1.0 liter, 0.9
Imp qt) from low level to full level
4. Pull out the oil level gauge again.
5. Check the oil levels on both sides of
the level gauge. The engine oil level must
be judged by the lowest of the two levels.
If the oil level is below the low level mark,
add oil so that the full level is reached. To add engine oil, remove the engine oil
filler cap and slowly pour engine oil
through the filler neck. After pouring oil
into the engine, you must use the level
gauge to confirm that the oil level is
correct.
NOTE
To prevent overfilling the engine oil,
do not add any additional oil above the
full level when the engine is cold.
■
Changing the Oil and Oil
Filter
Change the oil and oil filter according to
the maintenance schedule in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
NOTE Changing the engine oil and oil filter
should be performed by a well-trained
expert. Contact your SUBARU dealer
for changing the engine oil and oil
filter. Fully trained mechanics are on
standby at a SUBARU dealer to utilize
the special tools, spare parts and
recommended oil for this work, and
also, used oils are properly disposed
of.
 If performing oil replacement your-
self, observe the local regulations and
dispose of waste oil properly.■
Recommended Grade and
Viscosity
Refer to "Engine Oil" P381.NOTEEngine oil viscosity (thickness) affects
fuel economy. Oils of lower viscosity
provide better fuel economy. How-
ever, in hot weather, oil of higher vis-
cosity is required to properly lubricate
the engine.
CAUTION
 Be careful not to touch the engine
oil filter when removing the oil
filler cap. Doing so may result in a
burn, a pinched finger, or may
cause some other injury.


Use only engine oil with the
recommended grade and
viscosity.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 fire. If
engine oil gets on the exhaust
pipe, be sure to wipe it off.
CAUTION
Use only engine oil with the recom-
mended grade and viscosity.

Cooling System
348■
Synthetic Oil
You should use synthetic engine oil that
meets the same requirements given for
conventional engine oil. When using
synthetic oil, you must use oil of the same
classification, viscosity and grade shown
in this Owner’s Manual. Refer to "Engine
Oil" P381. Also, you must follow the oil
and filter changing intervals shown in the
Warranty and Maintenance booklet.NOTESynthetic oil of the grade and viscosity
noted in chapter 12 is the recom-
mended engine oil for optimum engine
performance. Conventional oil may be
used if synthetic oil is unavailable.
11-7. Cooling System
■
Cooling Fan, Hose and
Connections
Your vehicle employs an electric cooling
fan which is thermostatically controlled to operate when the engine coolant reaches
a specific temperature.
If the radiator cooling fan does not operate
even when the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge exceeds the normal operating
range, the cooling fan circuit may be
defective. Refer to "Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge" P129.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap until
the engine has been shut off and
has cooled down completely. Since
the coolant is under pressure, you
may suffer serious burns from a
spray of boiling hot coolant when
the cap is removed.
CAUTION
 Vehicles are filled at the factory
with SUBARU SUPER COOLANT
that does not require the first
change for 11 years/137,500 miles
(11 years/220,000 km). This
coolant should not be mixed with
any other brand or type of coolant
during this period. Mixing with a
different coolant will reduce the
life of the coolant. When neces-
sary to top off the coolant for any
reason, use only SUBARU
SUPER COOLANT.
If the SUBARU SUPER COOLANT
is diluted with another brand or
type, the maintenance interval is
shortened to that of the mixing
coolant.
 Do not splash the engine coolant
over painted parts. The alcohol
contained in the engine coolant
may damage the paint surface.

Spark Plugs
35211-9. Spark PlugsIt may be difficult to replace the spark
plugs. It is recommended that you have
the spark plugs replaced by your
SUBARU dealer.
The spark plugs should be replaced
according to the maintenance schedule in
the “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.■
Recommended Spark Plugs
Refer to "Electrical System" P385.
11-10. Drive BeltIt is unnecessary to check the deflection of
the drive belt periodically because your
engine is equipped with an automatic belt
tension adjuster. However, replacement
of the belt should be done according to the
maintenance schedule in the “Warranty
and Maintenance Booklet”. Consult your
SUBARU dealer for replacement.
If the belt is loose, cracked or worn, we
recommend that contact your SUBARU
dealer.
11-11. Automatic Transmis -sion FluidIt is not necessary to check the transmis-
sion oil level. Check that there are no
cracks, damage or leakage. However,
have the oil inspected by your SUBARU
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule in the “Warranty and Mainte-
nance Booklet”. Consult your SUBARU
dealer for details.■
Recommended Grade and
Viscosity
Each oil manufacturer has its own base
oils and additives. Never use different
brands together. For details, refer to
"Fluids" P383.

Approved engine oil
Always use the SUBARU approved engine oil. For fu rther details, please contact your SUBARU dealer.
If the approved engine oil is unavailable, use the alternative engine oil described on the next page.
▼Alternative engine oil
If the SUBARU approved oil is unavailable, the following alternative oil can be used.
NOTE Each quantity indicated is only a guideline. The necessary quantity for replacement may differ slightly depending on the
temperature and other factors.
 In choosing an oil, you want the proper quality and viscosity, as well as one that will enhance fuel economy. Oils of lower
viscosity provide better fuel economy. However, in hot weather, o il of higher viscosity is required to properly lubricate the
engine. The following table lists the recommended viscosities and applicable temperatures.Compression ratio 12.5 : 1
