Engine Lubrication: Specifications

SPECIFICATIONS





Recommended oil:
API classification SL with the words "Energy Conserving" (if the oil with SL grade cannot be obtained, it is okay to use SJ grade oil).
ILSAC GF-3 or the equivalent which is indicated on the container with the new API certification mark (Star burst mark).
The proper viscosity helps vehicle get good cold and hot starting by reducing viscous friction and thus increasing cranking speed.

CAUTION: When replenishing oil, it does not matter if the oil to be added is a different brand from that in the engine; however, use oil having the API classification and SAE viscosity No. designated by SUBARU.

NOTE: If the vehicle is used in areas with very high temperatures or for other heavy duty applications, the following viscosity oils may be used: API classification: SL or SJ or SH SAE Viscosity No.: 30, 40, 10W-50, 20W-40, 20W-50.
