A: INSPECTION
1) Remove the filler plug, and then check the gear
oil. Replace the gear oil if it is contaminated or de-
teriorated. ential Gear Oil.>
2) Check that the gear oil level is up to the bottom
of the filler plug hole. If the level is low, refill up to
the bottom of filler plug.
B: REPLACEMENT
1) Jack–up the vehicle and support it with rigid
racks.
2) Remove the oil drain plug and filler plug, and
drain the gear oil.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to burn your hands, because
gear oil becomes extremely hot after running.
3) Tighten the oil drain plug.
NOTE:
Use a new metal gasket.
Tightening torque:
29 N·m (3.0 kgf-m, 21.7 ft-lb)
4) Fill the differential carrier with gear oil to the bot-
tom of filler plug.
NOTE:
Carefully refill oil while watching the level. Exces-
sive or insufficient oil must be avoided.

A: 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 properly
orientated.
4) Remove it again and check the reading. If the
engine oil level is below “L” line, add oil to bring the
level up to “F” line.
5) After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes
for the oil to return to the oil pan before checking
the level.
NOTE:
To prevent overfilling of engine oil, do not add oil
above “F” line when the engine is cold.
B: REPLACEMENT
1) Open the engine oil filler cap for quick draining of
engine oil.
2) Lift-up the vehicle.
3) Drain engine oil by loosening the engine oil drain
plug.
NOTE:
Prepare the container for draining of engine oil.
4) Tighten the engine oil drain plug after draining
engine oil.
NOTE:
Use a new drain plug gasket.
Tightening torque:
44 N·m (4.5 kgf-m, 33 ft-lb)
5) Using engine oil of proper quality and viscosity,
fill engine oil through the oil filler duct to the upper
level on level gauge. Make sure that the vehicle is
parked on a level surface when checking oil level.
Recommended oil:
Refer to “SPECIFICATION” for the recom-
mended oil. CATION, General Description.>

Refer to “SPECIFICATION” for the engine oil
capacity. TION, General Description.>
6) Close the engine oil filler cap.
7) Start the engine and warm it up for a time.
8) After the engine stops, recheck the oil level. If
necessary, add engine oil up to the upper level on
level gauge.

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. 5AT(diag)-15, READ CURRENT DATA, OPERA-
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
2) Make sure the vehicle is level.
3) After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D), shift the
select lever in “P” range. Measure the ATF level
with engine idling for one or two minutes.
4) Make sure that ATF level is above the center of
upper and lower marks at “HOT” side.
5) If the ATF level is below the center between up-
per and lower marks, add the recommended ATF
until the fluid level is found above the center be-
tween upper and lower marks.
CAUTION:
•Use care not to exceed the upper limit level.
•Adding ATF to the upper limit mark on “HOT”
side when the ATF temperature is below 70°C
(158°F) will 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.
