! Alternative engine oil
If the SUBARU approved oil is unavailable, the following alternative oil can be used.
NOTE . Each quantity indicated here 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, oil of higher viscosity is required to properly lubricate the
engine. 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.

protection. Conventional oil may be
used if synthetic oil is unavailable.
*: If 5W-30 synthetic oil is not available,
5W-40 conventional oil may be used if
replenishment is needed but should be
changed to 5W-30 synthetic oil at the
next oil change. STI:

GAS STATION REFERENCE
& Fuel:! STI
The engine is designed to operate at maximum performance
using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 93 AKI (98
RON) or higher . If 93 AKI (98 RON) fuel is not readily available
in your area, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI
(95 RON) may be used with no detriment to engine durability or
driveability. However, you may notice a slight decrease in
maximum engine performance while using 91 AKI (95 RON)
fuel. Use of 91 AKI (95 RON) fuel will not affect your warranty
coverage.
! Except STI
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI (95
RON) or higher . If 91 AKI (95 RON) fuel is not readily available,
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI (90 RON)
may be used.
& Fuel octane rating:This octane rating is the average of the Research Octane and
Motor Octane numbers and is commonly referred to as the Anti
Knock Index (AKI). Refer to “ Fuel octane rating ” F 7-3.& Fuel capacity: 15.9 US gal (60 liters, 13.2 Imp gal)
& Engine oil: Use only the following oils.
. ILSAC GF-5, which can be identified with the ILSAC
certification mark (Starburst mark)
. or API classification SN with the words “ ENERGY CON-
SERVING ” or “ RESOURCE CONSERVING ”
For the complete viscosity requirements, refer to “ Engine oil ”
F 12-4.
& Engine oil capacity: ! STI
4.5 US qt (4.3 liters, 3.8 Imp qt)
! Except STI
5.4 US qt (5.1 liters, 4.5 Imp qt)
The indicated oil quantity is only a guideline and is estimated
based on a case when the engine oil is changed with an oil
filter. After refilling the engine with oil, the oil level should be
checked using an oil level gauge. For more details about
maintenance and service, refer to “ Engine oil ” F 11-13.
& Cold tire pressure: Refer to “ Tires ” F 12-8.
