CAUTION
If the level gauge is not pulled out easily , twist the level gauge right and left , then pull it out . Otherwise , you may be injured accidentally 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 .
■ 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 temperature . Under the following 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 Level
1 . 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 le th
