Maintenance and service/Engine oil
Engine oil
CAUTION
. If the level gauge does not come
out easily, twist the level gauge
right and left, then pull it out.
Otherwise, you may be injured
accidentally straining yourself.
. Use only engine oil with the
recommended grade and vis-
cosity.
. 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 fir e. If
engine oil gets on the exhaust
pipe, be sure to wipe it off.
& Engine oil consumption
Some engine oil will be consumed while
driving. Under the following conditions, oil
consumption can be increased and thus
require refilling between maintenance
intervals:
. When the engine is new and within the
break-in period
. When the engine oil is of lower quality
. When the incorrect oil viscosity is used
. When engine braking is employed
. When the engine is operated at high
engine speeds
. When the engine is operated under
heavy loads
. When towing a trailer
. When the engine idles for long periods
of time
. When the vehicle is operated in stop
and go and/or heavy traffic situations
. When the vehicle is used under severe
thermal conditions
. When the vehicle accelerates and
decelerates frequently
Under these or similar conditions, you
should check your oil at least every 2nd
fuel fill-up and change your engine oil
more frequently. If your oil consumption
rate for petrol engine models is greater
than 1 liter every 2,000 kilometers or 1
quart every 1,200 miles, contact your
SUBARU dealer who may perform a test
under controlled conditions.
& Checking the oil level
! Petrol engine
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
stop the engine. If you check the oil level
just after stopping the engine, wait a few
minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil
pan before checking the level.
