The scheduled maintenance items
required to be serviced at regular intervals
are shown in the “Warranty and Mainte-
nance Booklet”. For details, read the
separate “Warranty and Maintenance
Booklet”.
Canada models
The scheduled maintenance items
required to be serviced at regular intervals
are shown in the “Warranty and Service
Booklet”. For details, read the separate
“Warranty and Service Booklet”.
Except for U.S. and Canada models
Some items of your vehicle are required to
be serviced at scheduled intervals. For
details about your maintenance schedule,
read the separate “Warranty and Mainte-
nance Booklet”.
11-2. Maintenance Precau -tionsWhen maintenance and service are
required, it is reco mmended that all work
be done by an authorized SUBARU
dealer.
If you perform maintenance and service
by yourself, you should familiarize your-
self with the information provided in this
section on general maintenance and
service for your SUBARU.
Incorrect or incomplete service could
cause improper or unsafe vehicle opera-
tion. Any problems caused by improper
maintenance and service performed by
you are not eligible for warranty coverage.
WARNING
 Always select a safe area when
performing maintenance on your
vehicle. Always be very careful to avoid
injury when working on the
vehicle. Remember that some of
the materials in the vehicle may
be hazardous if improperly used
or handled, for example, battery
acid.
 Your vehicle should only be
serviced by persons fully compe-
tent to do so. Serious personal
injury may result to persons not
experienced in servicing vehi-
cles. Always use the proper tools and
make certain that they are well
maintained. Never get under the vehicle
supported only by a jack. Always
use safety stands to support the
vehicle. Never keep the engine running in
a poorly ventilated area, such as a
garage or other closed areas. Do not smoke or allow open
flames around the fuel or battery.
This will cause a fire. Because the fuel system is under
pressure, replacement of the fuel
filter should be performed only by
your SUBARU dealer. Wear adequate eye protection to
guard against getting oil or fluids
in your eyes. If something does
get in your eyes, thoroughly wash
them out with clean water.

Engine Oil
34611-6. Engine Oil■Engine Oil ConsumptionSome engine oil will be consumed while
driving. The rate of consumption can be
affected by such factors as transmission
type, driving style, terrain and tempera-
ture. Under the followi ng conditions, oil
consumption can be increased and thus
require refilling between maintenance
intervals:
 When the engine is new and within the
break-in period
 When the engine oil is of lower quality 
When the incorrect oil viscosity is used
 When engine braking is employed
(repeatedly)
 When the engine is operated at high
engine speeds (for extended periods of
time)
 When the engine is operated under
heavy loads (for extended periods of time)
 When the engine idles for extended
periods of time
 When the vehicle is operated in stop
and go and/or heavy traffic situations
 When the vehicle is used under severe
thermal conditions
 When the vehicle accelerates and
decelerates frequently
Under these or similar conditions, you
should check your oil at least every 2nd
fuel fill-up and change your engine oil
more frequently. Different drivers in the
same car may experience different
results. If your oil consumption rate is
greater than expected, contact your
authorized SUBARU retailer who may
perform a test under controlled conditions.
■ Checking the Oil Level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
stop the engine. If you check the oil level
just after stopping the engine, wait for at least 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into

the oil pan before checking the level.
1) Oil level gauge
2) Oil filler cap
3) Oil filter2. Pull out the level gauge, wipe it clean,
and insert it again.
3. Be sure the level gauge is correctly
inserted until it stops.
CAUTION
 If the level gauge is not pulled out
easily, twist the level gauge right
and left, then pull it out. Other-
wise, you may be injured acciden-
tally straining yourself. Use only engine oil with the
recommended grade and
viscosity. Be careful not to spill engine oil
when adding it. If oil touches the
exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad
smell, smoke, and/or a fire. If
engine oil gets on the exhaust
pipe, be sure to wipe it off.
CAUTION
If the level gauge cannot be pulled
out easily, twist the level gauge
right and left, then gently pull it out.
Otherwise, you may be injured acci-
dentally straining yourself.

Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
1) Full level
2) Low level
3) Approximately 1.1 US qt (1.0 liter, 0.9

Imp qt) from low level to full level
4. Pull out the oil level gauge again.
5. Check the oil levels on both sides of
the level gauge. The engine oil level must
be judged by the lowest of the two levels.
If the oil level is below the low level mark,
add oil so that the full level is reached. To add engine oil, remove the engine oil
filler cap and slowly pour engine oil
through the filler neck. After pouring oil
into the engine, you must use the level
gauge to confirm that the oil level is

correct.
NOTE To prevent overfilling the engine oil,
do not add any additional oil above the
full level when the engine is cold.
■ Changing the Oil and Oil
FilterChange the oil and oil filter according to
the maintenance schedule in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
NOTE Changing the engine oil and oil filter
should be performed by a well-trained
expert. Contact your SUBARU dealer
for changing the engine oil and oil
filter. Fully trained mechanics are on
standby at a SUBARU dealer to utilize
the special tools, spare parts and
recommended oil for this work, and
also, used oils are properly disposed
of.
 If performing oil replacement your-
self, observe the local regulations and
dispose of waste oil properly.■ Recommended Grade and
ViscosityRefer to "Engine Oil" P381.NOTEEngine oil viscosity (thickness) affects
fuel economy. Oils of lower viscosity
provide better fuel economy. How-
ever, in hot weather, oil of higher vis-
cosity is required to properly lubricate
the engine.
CAUTION
 Be careful not to touch the engine
oil filter when removing the oil
filler cap. Doing so may result in a
burn, a pinched finger, or may
cause some other injury.

engine oil gets on the exhaust
pipe, be sure to wipe it off.
CAUTION
Use only engine oil with the recom-
mended grade and viscosity.
