Engine oil

For the checking, adding and replacing procedure or other details, refer to "Engine oil" F11-11.

NOTE The procedure for changing the engine oil and oil filter should be performed by a properly-trained expert. It is recommended that you have this service performed by your SUBARU dealer.

Approved engine oil

Always use the SUBARU approved engine oil. For further details, please contact your SUBARU dealer.

If the approved engine oil is unavailable, use the alternative engine oil described on the next page.

Alternative engine oil

If the SUBARU approved oil is unavailable, the following alternative oil can be used.

NOTE

Each quantity indicated 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, different brands may be used together as long as they are the same API classification and SAE viscosity as those recommended by SUBARU.

2.5 L models

Oil grade

SAE viscosity No. and applicable temperature

Engine oil capacity

API (American Petroleum Institute) classification SN with the words "RESOURCE CONSERVING"

ILSAC (International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee) GF-5, which can be identified with the ILSAC certification mark (Starburst mark)

0W-20 synthetic oil is the required oil for optimum engine performance and protection. Conventional oil may be used if synthetic oil is unavailable.

*: If 0W-20 synthetic oil is not available, 5W-30 or 5W-40 conventional oil may be used if you need to add oil.

However, you should change to 0W-20 synthetic oil at the next oil change.

Adding the oil from low level to full level: 1.1 US qt (1.0 liter, 0.9 Imp qt)
Changing the oil and oil filter: 5.1 US qt (4.8 liters, 4.2 Imp qt)

3.6 L models

Oil grade

SAE viscosity No. and applicable temperature

Engine oil capacity

API (American Petroleum Institute) classification SN with the words "RESOURCE CONSERVING"

ILSAC (International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee) GF-5, which can be identified with the ILSAC certification mark (Starburst mark)

Your vehicle is designed to use 5W-30 conventional motor oil, however 5W-30 synthetic may be used for optimum engine performance.

*: If 5W-30 synthetic oil is not available, 10W-30 or 10W-40 conventional oil may be used if you need to add oil.

However, you should change to 5W-30 synthetic or conventional oil at the next oil change.

Adding the oil from L to F level: 1.1 US qt (1.0 liter, 0.9 Imp qt)
Changing the oil and oil filter: 6.9 US qt (6.5 liters, 5.7 Imp qt)

Manual transmission, front differential and rear differential gear oil

Manual transmission, front differential and rear differential gear oil

*1: The indicated oil quantity is only a guideline. The necessary quantity for replacement may differ slightly depending on the temperature and other factors. After refilling the gearbox with oil, the oil level should be checked.

*2: For more details about maintenance and service, refer to the indicated section.

*3: The vehicle is filled at the factory with this type of manual transmission oil/front differential gear oil.

*4: You may use this type of manual transmission oil/front differential gear oil. However, using this type of oil will detract from driveability and fuel efficiency.

Fluids

Fluids

*1: Use one of the indicated types of fluid.

*2: The indicated fluid quantity is only a guideline. The necessary quantity for replacement may differ slightly depending on the temperature and other factors.

*3: For more details about maintenance and service, refer to the indicated section.
