& Checking the oil level
NOTE

Each oil manufacturer has its own base
oils and additives. Never use different
brands together. For details, refer to
“Manual transmission and rear differential
gear oil” F12-6.

For STI models, there is no transmission oil level gauge. Consult your
SUBARU dealer to check the oil level.

Upper level
Lower level

3. Pull out the level gauge again and
check the oil level on it. If it is below the
lower level, add oil through the level
gauge hole to bring the level up to the
upper level.
Except STI

Check the oil level monthly.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
stop the engine.
2. Pull out the level gauge, wipe it clean,
and insert it again.

CAUTION
Be careful not to spill manual transmission oil when adding it. If oil
touches the exhaust pipe, it may
cause a bad smell, smoke, and/or a
fire. If oil gets on the exhaust pipe,
be sure to wipe it off.
