NOTE
Synthetic 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 with no detriment to engine dur-
ability or driveability.
Cooling system
S11AF
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radia-
tor 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 boil-
ing hot coolant when the cap is
removed.
CAUTION
. The cool ing sy stem ha s bee n
filled at the factory with a high
quality, corrosion-inhibiting,
year-round coolant which pro-
vides protection against freezing
down to − 368C(−338F). Make
sure to always use genuine
SUBARU Super Coolant or an
equivalent (non-amine type cool-
ant).
. If the coolant requires water dilu-
tion, be sure to use soft water (or
clear and drinkable water) and to
follow the required dilution ratio.
. Mixing with a different coolant
and/or hard water may result in
problems including, but not lim-
ited to, shortened engine compo-
nent life, cooling system clog-
ging, coolant leaks and engine
damage from overheating. There-
fore, never mix different kinds of
coolant and/or hard water even if
freezing temperatures are not
expected.
. Do not splash the engine coolant
over painted parts. The alcohol
contained in the engine coolant
may damage the paint surface.
& Cooling fan, hose and con-
nections
S11AF03
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 following conditions occur,
the cooling fan circuit may be defective.
. The engine coolant temperature gauge
exceeds the normal operating range (if
equipped). Refer to “
s03ad08Temperature
gauge” F3-13.
. The coolant temperature high warning
