Engine Lubrication: Specifications

SPECIFICATION





Recommended oil:
Items having the API standard SM "Energy Conserving" logo
ILSAC standard GF-4 "starburst mark" displayed on container top.





The proper viscosity oil helps the engine maintain its ideal temperature, and cranking speed increased by reducing viscosity friction in hot condition.

CAUTION: It is acceptable to fill an engine with oil of another name when replacing oil, but use an API standard specified by Subaru or one that has SAE viscosity number.

NOTE: Use an oil with the viscosity shown below if the vehicle is used in regions of high temperature, or in severe environments. API standard: SM or SL SAE viscosity No.: 30, 40, 10W-50, 20W-40, 20W50
