11-12. Differential Gear OilIt is not necessary to check the gear oil
level. Check that there are no cracks,
damage or leakage. However, the oil
inspection should be performed according
to the maintenance schedule in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
Consult your SUBARU dealer for details.■ Recommended Grade and
ViscosityEach oil manufacturer has its own base
oils and additives. Never use different
brands together. For details, refer to
"Manual Transmission and Differential
Gear Oil" P383.
11-13. Manual Transmission OilIt is not necessary to check the transmis-
sion oil level. Check that there are no
cracks, damage or leakage. However,
have the oil inspected by your SUBARU
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule in the “Warranty and Mainte-
nance Booklet”. Consult your SUBARU
dealer for details.■ Recommended Grade and
ViscosityEach oil manufacturer has its own base
oils and additives. Never use different
brands together. For details, refer to
"Manual Transmission and Differential
Gear Oil" P383.
11-14. Brake Fluid■ Checking the Fluid Level
CAUTION
Using a differential gear oil other
than the specified oil may cause a
decline in vehicle performance.
WARNING
 Never let brake fluid contact your
eyes because brake fluid can be
harmful to your eyes. If brake
fluid gets in your eyes, immedi-
ately flush them thoroughly with
clean water. Fo r safety, when
performing this work, wearing
eye protection is advisable. Brake fluid absorbs moisture
from the air. Any absorbed mois-
ture can cause a dangerous loss
of braking performance. If the vehicle requires frequent
refilling, there may be a leak. If
you suspect a problem, have the
vehicle checked at your SUBARU
dealer.
CAUTION
 When adding brake fluid, be
careful not to allow any dirt into
the reservoir. Never splash the brake fluid over
painted surfaces or rubber parts.
Alcohol contained in the brake
fluid may damage them.

Alloy Wheels
366NOTEWhen any of the wheels are removed
and replaced for tire rotation or to
change a flat tire, always check the
tightness of the wheel nuts after driv-
ing approximately 600 miles (1,000
km). If any nut is loos e, tighten it to the
specified torque.
11-22. Alloy WheelsAlloy wheels can be scratched and
damaged easily. Handle them carefully to
maintain their appearance, performance,
and safety.
 When any of the wheels is removed
and replaced for tire rotation or to change
a flat, always check the tightness of the
wheel nuts after driving approximately 600
miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose,
tighten it to the specified torque.
 Never apply oil to the threaded parts,
wheel nuts, or tapered surface of the
wheel.
 Never let the wheel rub against sharp
protrusions or curbs.
 When wheel nuts, balance weights, or
the center cap is replaced, be sure to
replace them with genuine SUBARU parts
designed for alloy wheels.
11-23. Windshield Washer Fluid1) “LOW” positionThe washer fluid level can be checked by
observing the position of the level on the
liquid-covered holes in the gauge. 
If the level falls below the second hole
from the bottom (the “LOW” position), add
washer fluid.
Use windshield washer fluid. If windshield
washer fluid is unavailable use clean
water.
In areas where water freezes in winter,
use an anti-freeze type windshield washer
fluid.
WARNING
Use only those wheels that are
specified for your vehicle. Wheels
not meeting specifications could
interfere with brake caliper opera-
tion and may cause the tires to rub
against the wheel well housing
during turns. The resulting loss of
vehicle control could lead to an
accident.

mended that you have this service performed by your SUBARU dealer.
▼ Approved engine oil
Always use the SUBARU approved engine oil. For fu rther details, please contact your SUBARU dealer.
If the approved engine oil is unavailable, use the alternative engine oil described on the next page.
▼ Alternative engine oil
If the SUBARU approved oil is unavailable, the following alternative oil can be used.NOTE Each quantity indicated is only a guideline. The necessary quantity for replacement may differ slightly depending on the
temperature and other factors.
 In choosing an oil, you want the proper quality and viscosity, as well as one that will enhance fuel economy. Oils of lower
viscosity provide better fuel economy. However, in hot weather, oil of higher viscosity is required to properly lubricate the
engine. The following table lists the recommend ed viscosities and applicable temperatures.Compression ratio 12.5 : 1
