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 acci-
dentally straining yourself.
.
Use only engine oil with the
recommended grade and vis-
cosity.
.
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.
NOTE
.
The engine oil consumption rate is
not stabilized, and therefore cannot be
determined until the vehicle has tra-
veled at least several thousand kilo-
meters. When the vehicle is used under
severe driving conditions, such as
those mentioned earlier in this chapter,
engine oil is consumed or deteriorated
more quickly than under normal driving
conditions. Please check and replace it
more frequently than usual.
.
For petrol engine models, if the oil
consumption rate is unusually high
after the stabilized period, for example
more than 1 liter per 2,000 kilometers,
we recommend that you contact your
SUBARU dealer.
&
Checking the oil level
Check the engine oil level at each fuel
stop.
!
Petrol engine models
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
stop the engine. If you check the oil level
just after stopping the engine, wait a few
minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil
pan before checking the level.
