Maintenance and service/Cooling system
in hot weather, oil of higher viscosity is
required to properly lubricate the en-
gine.
& Synthetic oil
You can 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” F12-5. Also, you must follow the oil
and filter changing intervals shown in the
maintenance schedule. Refer to “Mainte-
nance schedule” F11-3.
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
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 has been
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.
