Recommended oil.
Oil corresponding to either of the following standards.
^ For API standards: Oil displaying the SM "Energy Conserving" logo.
^ For ILSAC standards: Oil displaying GF-4 "Star burst mark" label on the container.
The proper viscosity oil helps the engine maintain its ideal temperature, and cranking speed increased by reducing viscosity friction in hot condition.
CAUTION: It is acceptable to fill an engine with oil of another brand when replacing the oil, but make sure to use an oil with an API standard and SAE viscosity number specified by Subaru.
NOTE: If the vehicle is used in regions with high temperatures or in other severe environments, use oil with the viscosities shown below. API standard: SM or SL SAE Viscosity No.: 30, 40, 10W-50, 20W-40, 20W-50
