Recommended oil: 

API standard SL with the "Energy Conserving" logo is printed (if you cannot obtain the oil with SL grade, you may use SJ grade "ENERGY CONSERVING" oil.) 

ILSAC standard, GF-3 or New API certification mark (Star burst mark) label is on the container

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 standard 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 standard: SL or SJ

SAE Viscosity No.: 30, 40, 10W-50, 20W-40, 20W-50.
