1Bumper installation
Place the bumper on a paint worktable as
required. Use the paint worktable conforming
to inner shape of bumper if possible.
(1) Bumper
(2) Set bumper section
2MaskingMask specified part (black base) with masking tape. Use masking tape for PP (example,
Nichiban No. 533, etc. ).
3Degreasing/cleaningClean all parts to be painted with white gasoline, normal alcohol, etc. to remove dirt, oil, fat, etc.
4Primer paint Apply primer to all parts to be painted, using spray gun. Use primer (clear).
5Drying
Dry at normal temperature [10 — 15 min. at 20°C (68°F)].
In half-dried condition, PP primer paint is dissolved by solvent, e.g. thinner, etc.
Therefore, if dust or dirt must be removed, use ordinary alcohol etc.
6Top coat paint (I)
Non-colored Metallic paint
Use section (block) paint for top coat.
•Paint to be used (for each color):
Solid paint
Hardener PB
Thinner T-301
•Mixture ratio:
Main agent vs. hardener = 4:1
• Viscosity: 10 — 13 sec./20°C (68°F)
•Film thickness: 35 — 45 µ
•Spraying pressure: 245 — 343 kPa
(2.5 — 3.5 kg/cm2, 36 — 50 psi)
Use section (block) paint for top coat.
•Paint to be used (for each color):
Metallic paint

•Mixture ratio:
Main agent vs. hardener = 10:1
•Viscosity: 10 — 13 sec./20°C (68°F)
•Film thickness: 15 — 20 µ
•Spraying pressure: 245 — 343 kPa
(2.5 — 3.5 kg/cm2, 36 — 50 psi)
7Drying Not required.
Dry at normal temperature [at least 10 min. at
20°C (68°F)].
In half-dried condition, avoid dust, dirt.
8Top coat paint (II)Not required.

(I), three times at 5 — 7 minutes intervals.
•Paint to be used:
Metallic paint
Hardener PB
Thinner T-301
•Mixture ratio:
Clear coat vs. hardener = 6:1
•Viscosity: 14 — 16 sec./20°C (68°F)
•Film thickness: 25 — 30 µ
•Spraying pressure: 245 — 343 kPa
(2.5 — 3.5 kg/cm2, 36 — 50 psi)
9Drying
60°C (140°F), 60 min. or 80°C (176°F), 30 min.
If higher than 80°C (176°F), PP may become be deformed. Keep maximum temperature below
80°C (176°F).
10 Inspection Check paint.

1. REAR DIFFERENTIAL
When replacing a rear differential assembly, select the correct one according to the following table.
NOTE:
•Using a different rear differential assembly will cause the drive train and tires to drag or emit abnormal
noise.
•For option code, refer to “ID” section.
2. IDENTIFICATION
Identification label positions are shown in the fol-
lowing figures. For details concerning identification,
refer to the “ID” section.

CAUTION:
When replenishing oil, it does not matter if the oil to be added is a different brand from that in the en-
gine; however, use oil having the API standard and SAE viscosity No. designated by SUBARU.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is used in areas with very high temperatures or for other heavy duty applications, the following
viscosity oils must be used: API standard: SM or SL

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.>
Engine oil capacity
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.
