C: CAUTION
•Wear work clothing, including a cap, protective
goggles and protective shoes during operation.
•Remove contamination including dirt and corro-
sion before removal, installation or disassembly.
•Keep the disassembled parts in order and pro-
tect them from dust and dirt.
•Before removal, installation or disassembly, be
sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary re-
moval, installation, disassembly and replacement.
•Be careful not to burn yourself, because each
part on the vehicle is hot after running.
•Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and
nuts to the specified torque.
•Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified
points.
•Before disconnecting connectors of sensors or
units, be sure to disconnect the ground cable from
the battery.
•All parts should be thoroughly cleaned, paying
special attention to engine oil passages, pistons
and bearings.
•Rotating parts and sliding parts such as piston,
bearing and gear should be coated with oil prior to
assembly.
•Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant contact
the timing belt, clutch disc and flywheel.
•All removed parts, if to be reused, should be re-
installed in the original positions and directions.
•Bolts, nuts and washers should be replaced with
new ones as required.
•Even if necessary inspections have been made
in advance, proceed with assembly work while
making rechecks.
•Remove or install the engine in an area where
chain hoists, lifting devices, etc. are available for
ready use.
•Be sure not to damage coated surfaces of body
panels with tools, or not to stain seats and windows
with coolant or oil. Place a cover over fender, as re-
quired, for protection.
•Prior to starting work, prepare the following:
Service tools, clean cloth, containers to catch cool-
ant and oil, wire ropes, chain hoist, transmission
jacks, etc.
•Lift-up or lower the vehicle when necessary.
Make sure to support the correct positions.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SERVICES
B: INSPECTION
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2) Remove the oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
3) Reinsert the level gauge all the way. Be sure that
the level gauge is correctly inserted and in the
proper orientation.
4) Remove it again and check the oil reading.
If the engine oil level is below the “L” line, add oil to
bring the level up to the “F” line. To prevent overfill-
ing the engine oil, do not add oil above the “F” line
when the engine is cold.
5) Check whether it is notably dirty, or there is cool-
ant or gasoline mixed in. Replace if it is notably
dirty. If there is coolant or gasoline mixed in, check
the engine.
6) After pouring in engine oil, run the engine for
several minutes, then stop it. Wait for several min-
utes until the oil has returned to the oil pan.

Cooling System
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SERVICES
9. Cooling System
A: INSPECTION
1) To check the radiator for leakage, fill it with en-
gine coolant, and attach the radiator cap tester (A)
to the filler neck, and apply pressure. Check the fol-
lowing points:
157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm2, 23 psi)
NOTE:
•Hose joints and other connections for leakage
•Each portion of radiator for leakage
•Be particularly careful not to deform the filler
neck of radiator when installing and removing the
tester and after testing.
•When performing this check, be sure to keep the
engine stationary and fill radiator with coolant.
•Wipe off check points before applying pressure.
•Use care not to spill coolant when detaching
tester from radiator.
2) Check the radiator cap valve open pressure us-
ing radiator cap tester.
NOTE:
Rust or dirt on the cap may prevent valve from func-
tioning normally:be sure to clean the cap before
testing.
Raise the pressure until the needle of gauge stops
and see if the pressure can be retained for five to
six seconds. The radiator cap is normal if a pres-
sure above the service limit value has been main-
tained for this period.
Radiator cap valve open pressure
Standard:
93 — 123 kPa (0.95 — 1.25 kg/cm2, 14 — 18
psi)
Service limit:
83 kPa (0.85 kg/cm2, 12 psi)
3) Start the engine, and then check it does not
overheat or it is cooled excessively. If it overheats
or it is cooled excessively, check the cooling sys-
tem.

4) Check the radiator fan operates using Subaru
Select Monitor, when the coolant temperature ex-
ceeds 95°C (203°F). If it does not operate, check
the radiator fan system.
