11-2. Maintenance precau-
tions
When maintenance and service are re-
quired, it is recommended that all work be
done by an authorized SUBARU dealer.
If you perform maintenance and service by
yourself, you should familiarize yourself
with the information provided in this sec-
tion 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 vehi-
cle. 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 ser-
viced by persons fully competent
to do so. Serious personal injury
may result to persons not experi-
enced in servicing vehicles.
.
Always use the proper tools and
make certain that they are well
maintained.
.
Never get under the vehicle sup-
ported 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.
.
Do not tamper with the wiring of
the SRS airbag system or seat-
belt pretensioner system, or at-
tempt to take its connectors

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 accidentally straining
yourself.
.
Use only engine oil with the
recommended grade and vis-
cosity.
.

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.
&
Engine oil consumption
Some 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 following conditions, oil
consumption can be increased and may
require refilling between maintenance in-
tervals.
.
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 towing a trailer
.
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 dealer who may perform a test
under controlled conditions.

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.
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.
.
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.
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
upper level when the engine is cold.
.
The engine low oil level warning light
may stay illuminated when the engine
is started straight after topping up or
changing the engine oil. In such cases,
park the vehicle on a level surface and
wait for more than a minute until the oil
level settles, after which the warning
light will turn off. Refer to “Engine low
oil level warning light” FP170.
&
Changing the oil and oil filter
Change the oil and oil filter according to
the maintenance schedule in the “War-
ranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
The engine oil and oil filter must be
changed more frequently than listed in
the maintenance schedule when driving
on dusty roads, when short trips are
frequently made, or when driving in ex-
tremely cold weather.
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 recom-
mended oil for this work, and also, used

self, observe the local regulations and
dispose of waste oil properly.
&
Recommended grade and
viscosity
CAUTION
Use only engine oil with the recom-
mended grade and viscosity.
Refer to “Engine oil” FP489.
NOTE
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) affects
fuel economy. Oils of lower viscosity
provide better fuel economy. However,
in hot weather, oil of higher viscosity is
required to properly lubricate the en-
gine.
&
Synthetic oil
You should use synthetic engine oil that
meets the same requirements given for
conventional engine oil. When using syn-
thetic oil, you must use oil of the same
classification, viscosity and grade shown
in this Owner’s Instruction. Refer to “Engine
oil” FP489. Also, you must follow the oil
and filter changing intervals shown in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
NOTE
Synthetic oil of the grade and viscosity
noted in chapter 12 is the recom-
mended engine oil for optimum engine
performance. Conventional oil may be
used if synthetic oil is unavailable.
11-7. Cooling system
&
Safety precautions
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap until the engine has been shut
off and has cooled down completely.
Since the coolant is under pressure,
you may suffer serious burns from a
spray of boiling hot coolant when
the cap is removed.
CAUTION
.
Vehicles are filled at the factory
with SUBARU Super Coolant that
does not require the first change
for 11 years/137,500 miles (11
years/220,000 km). This coolant
should not be mixed with any
other brand or type of coolant
during this period. Mixing with a
different coolant will reduce the
life of the coolant. Should it be
necessary to add the coolant for
any reason, use only SUBARU
Super Coolant.
If the SUBARU Super Coolant is
diluted with another brand or
Cooling system

type, the maintenance interval is
shortened to that of the mixing
coolant.
.
Do not splash the engine coolant
over painted parts. The alcohol
contained in the engine coolant
may damage the paint surface.
&
Cooling fan, hose and con-
nections
Your vehicle employs an electric cooling
fan which is thermostatically controlled to
operate when the engine coolant reaches
a specific temperature.
If the radiator cooling fan does not operate
even when the coolant temperature high
warning light blinks or illuminates in RED,
the cooling fan circuit may be defective.
Refer to “Coolant temperature low indica-
tor light/Coolant temperature high warning
light” FP168.
Check the fuse and replace it if necessary.
Refer to “Fuses” FP474 and “Fuse panel
located in the engine compartment”
FP497.
If the fuse is not blown, have the cooling
system checked by your SUBARU dealer.
If frequent addition of coolant is necessary,
there may be a leak in the engine cooling
system. It is recommended that the cooling
system and connections be checked for
leaks, damage, or looseness.

to the maintenance schedule in the “War-
ranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
11-8. Air cleaner element
WARNING
Do not operate the engine with the
air cleaner element removed. The air
cleaner element not only filters in-
take air but also stops flames if the
engine backfires. If the air cleaner
element is not installed when the
engine backfires, you could be
burned.
CAUTION
When replacing the air cleaner ele-
ment, use a genuine SUBARU air
cleaner element. If it is not used, it
will cause a negative effect to the
engine.
The air cleaner element functions as a filter

extremely dusty conditions, replace it
more frequently. It is recommended that
you always use genuine SUBARU parts.
1. Unsnap the two clips holding the air
cleaner case (rear).
2. Open the air cleaner case and pull the
cover rearward while lifting it up.
3. Remove the air cleaner element.
4. Clean the inside of the air cleaner case
(both front and rear) with a damp cloth and
install a new air cleaner element.
5. To install the air cleaner case (rear),
insert the three projections on the air
cleaner case (rear) into the slits on the air
cleaner case (front).
6. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE
Install the air cleaner element so that
the surface with “UPR” printed on it
faces upward.
