Engine Coolant
2. RELATIONSHIP OF SUBARU COOLANT
CONCENTRATION AND FREEZING TEM-
PERATURE
The concentration and safe operating temperature
of the SUBARU Genuine Coolant is shown in the
diagram. Measuring the temperature and specific
gravity of the coolant will provide this information.
[Example]
If the coolant temperature is 25°C (77°F) and its
specific gravity is 1.054, the concentration is 35%
(point A), the safe operating temperature is −14°C
(7°F) (point B), and the freezing temperature is −
20°C (−4°F) (point C).
3. PROCEDURE TO ADJUST THE CONC
ENTRATION OF THE COOLANT
To adjust the concentration of the engine coolant
according to temperature, find the proper fluid con-
centration in the above diagram and replace the
necessary amount of coolant with an undiluted so-
lution of SUBARU Genuine Coolant (concentration
50%).
The amount of coolant that should be replaced can
be determined using the diagram.
[Example]
Assume that the engine coolant concentration must
be increased from 25% to 40%. Find point A, where
the 25% line of the engine coolant concentration in-
tersects with the 40% curve of the necessary the
engine coolant concentration, and read the scale
on the vertical axis of the graph at height A. The
quantity of the engine coolant to be drained is 2.12
(2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt). Drain 2.12 (2.2 US qt, 1.8
Imp qt) of coolant from the cooling system and add
2.12 (2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt) of the undiluted solu-
tion of SUBARU Genuine Coolant.
If the engine coolant concentration of 50% is need-
ed, drain all the coolant and refill with the undiluted
solution only.

ATF
16.ATF
A: INSPECTION
CAUTION:
The level of ATF varies with fluid temperature.
Pay attention to the fluid temperature when
checking ATF level.
1) Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance
of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the en-
gine to raise ATF temperature to 70 — 80°C (158
— 176°F) on Subaru Select Monitor. 4AT(H4SO)-18, READ CURRENT DATA, OPERA-
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
2) Make sure the vehicle is level.
3) After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1),
set the select lever in “P” range. Measure the ATF
level with the engine idling for one or two minutes.
4) Make sure that ATF level is above the center of
upper and lower level.
NOTE:
When the transmission is hot, the level should be
above the center of upper and lower marks, and
when it is cold, the level should be found below the
center of these two marks.
5) If the ATF level is below the center between up-
per and lower marks, add the recommended ATF
until the ATF level is found above the center be-
tween upper and lower marks.
CAUTION:
 Use care not to exceed the upper limit level.
 Remember that the addition of ATF to the up-
per limit mark when the transmission is cold
will result in overfilling of ATF, causing a trans-
mission failure.
6) Check ATF level after raising ATF temperature
to 70 — 80°C (158 — 176°F) by running the vehicle
or by idling the engine again.7) Check the ATF for leaks.
Check for leaks in the transmission. If there are
leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace gasket, oil
seals, plugs or other parts.
B: REPLACEMENT
1. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
1) Drain the ATF by removing drain plug.
NOTE:
Before starting work, cool off ATF well.
2) Replace the gasket with a new one, and then
tighten the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.1 ft-lb)
3) Fill ATF up to the middle of the “COLD” side on
level gauge by using the gauge hole.
Recommended fluid:
Dexron III type automatic transmission fluid
