& Recommended Grade and Viscosity s11ae03
CAUTION
Use only engine oil with the recommended grade and viscosity.
Refer to“ Engine Oil” FP506.
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 engine.
& Synthetic Oil s11ae05
You should use synthetic engine oil that meets the same requirements given for conventional engine oil. When using synthetic oil, you must use oil of the same classification, viscosity and grade shown in this Owner’ s Manual. Refer to“ Engine Oil” FP506. 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 recommended engine oil for optimum engine performance. Conventional oil may be used if synthetic oil is unavailable.

WARNING
. Never 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.
. Be careful of the rotating cooling fan when the engine hood is open. When the engine temperature is high, the cooling fan in the engine compartment may operate when the ignition switch is in the“ ON” position, even if the engine is stopped. Touching the cooling fan while it is rotating may result in injury.

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). Do not mix this coolant with any
