■ Engine oil selection
Always use SUBARU approved engine oil. For details, we recom-
mend that you contact any authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
If approved engine oil is unavailable, another motor oil of matching
quality can also be used.
Oil grade:
API grade
SN (Resource Conserving) or SN PLUS (Resource Conserving)
ILSAC multigrade engine oil
GF-5
ACEA
A3 or A5
Recommended viscosity (SAE): 0W-20 and 5W-30
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your
SUBARU vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for good
fuel economy and good starting
in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 oil is not available,
SAE 5W-30 oil may be used.
However, it should be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows
cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier
starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when
the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a
higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
