NOTE
. Each quantity indicated here is only a guideline. The necessary quantity for replacement may differ slightly depending on the temperature and other factors.
. In choosing an oil, you want the proper quality and viscosity, as well as one that will enhance 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. The following table lists the recommended viscosities and applicable temperatures.
. When adding oil, you may use different brands together as long as they are the same ILSAC or API classification and SAE viscosity as those recommended by SUBARU.
API( American Petroleum Institute) classification SP with the words“ RESOURCE CONSER- VING”
Oil grade
or
ILSAC( International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee) GF-6A, which can be identified with the ILSAC certification mark( Starburst mark)
