Subaru Legacy BN/BS (2015-2019) Owners Manual: Engine low oil level warning indicator

Subaru Legacy BN/BS (2015-2019) Owners Manual / Instruments and controls / Warning and indicator lights / Engine low oil level warning indicator

This indicator appears when the engine oil level decreases to the lower limit.

If the engine low oil level warning indicator appears while driving, park the vehicle at a safe and level location, and then check the engine oil level. When the engine oil level is not within the normal range, refill with engine oil. Refer to "Engine oil" F11- 11.

If the warning indicator does not disappear after refilling with engine oil or the warning indicator appears even though the engine oil level is within the normal range, have the system checked by a SUBARU dealer.

NOTE

After replacing or adding the engine oil, if the engine oil level is within the normal range when restarting the engine on a level surface, the warning indicator will be off.
The warning indicator may appear temporarily in the following conditions because a low oil level may be detected as a result of significant oil movement in the engine.

when the vehicle is considerably inclined on an uphill or steep slope
when the vehicle has continuously accelerated and decelerated
when the vehicle is continuously turned
when the vehicle is driven on a road that alternates continuously between uphill and downhill
