WARNING
.Te s t i n g o f a n A l l - W h e e l D r i v emodel must NEVER be per-formed on a single two-wheeldynamometer or similar appara-tus. Attempting to do so willresult in transmission damageand in uncontrolled vehiclemovement and may cause anaccident or injuries to personsnearby.
.Always select a safe area whenperforming maintenance on yourvehicle.
.Always be very careful to avoidinjury when working on the vehi-cle. Remember that some of thematerials in the vehicle may behazardous if improperly used orhandled, for example, batteryacid.

7. Remove the oil filter with an oil filterwrench.
8. Clean the rubber seal seating area ofthe bottom of engine and install the oilfilterby hand turning. Be careful not totwist or damage the seal.
9. Tighten the oil filter by the amountindicatedin the following table after theseal makes contact with the bottom ofengine.
Oil filter color Part numberAmount of ro-tation
Black 15208AA0313/4 rotation
CAUTION
.Never over tighten the oil filterbecause that can result in an oil
leak.
.Thoroughly wipe off any engineoil that has spilled over theexhaust pipe and/or under-cover.If left unremoved, the oil couldcatch fire.
10. Reinstall thecover under the oil filter.
11. Pour engine oil through the filler neck.
For the oil capacity guideline, refer to“Engine oil”F12-4. The necessary quan-tity of oil depends on the quantity of oil thathas been drained. The quantity of drainedoil differs slightly depending on the tem-perature of the oil and the time the oil isleft flowing out. After refilling the enginewith oil, therefore, you must use the levelgauge to confirm that the level is correct.
12.Start the engine and make sure that nooil leaks appear around the filter’s rubberseal and drain plug.
13. Run the engine until it reaches thenormal operating temperature. Then stopthe engine and wait a few minutes to allowthe oil drain back. Check the oil levelagain and if necessary, add more engineoil.
&Recommended grade and
viscosity
CAUTION
Use only engine oil with the recom-mended grade and viscosity.
Refer to“Engine oil”F12-4.
NOTE
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) affectsfuel economy. Oils of lower viscosityprovide better fuel economy. However,in hot weather, oil of higher viscosity isrequired to properly lubricate the en-gine.
&Synthetic oil
You should use synthetic engine oil thatmeets the samerequirements given forconventional engine oil. When usingsynthetic oil, you must use oil of the sameclassification,viscosity and grade shownin this Owner’s Manual. Refer to“Engineoil”F12-4. Also, you must follow the oiland filter changing intervals shown in theWarranty and Maintenance booklet.
NOTE
Synthetic oil of the grade and viscositynoted in chapter 12 is the recom-

&Engine oil
For the checking, adding and replacing procedure or other details, refer to“Engine oil”F11-7.
NOTE
The procedure for changing the engine oil and oil filter should be performed by a properly-trained expert. It is recommendedthat you have this service performed by your SUBARU dealer.
!Approved engine oil
Always use the SUBARU approved engine oil. For further 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 thetemperature 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 lowerviscosity provide better fuel economy. However, in hot weather, oil of higher viscosity is required to properly lubricate theengine. The following table lists the recommended viscosities and applicable temperatures..When adding oil, different brands may be used togetheras long as they are the same API classification and SAE viscosityas those recommended by SUBARU.

&Fuel
Useunleaded gasolinewith an octane rating of87 AKI (90RON) or higher.
&Fuel octane rating
This octane rating is the average of the Research Octane andMotor Octane numbers and is commonly referred to as theAntiKnock Index (AKI). Refer to“Fuel octane rating”F7-2.
&Fuel capacity
16.9 US gal (64 liters, 14.1 Imp gal)
&Engine oil
Use only the following oils..API classification SM or SN with the words“ENERGYCONSERVING”or“RESOURCE CONSERVING”.or ILSAC GF-4 or GF-5, which can be identified with theILSAC certification mark (Starburst mark)
For the complete viscosity requirements, refer to“Engine oil”F12-4.
