Specified oil:
CAUTION:
- Use 5W-30 (synthetic oil).
- It is acceptable to fill an engine with oil of another brand when replacing the oil, but make sure to use the following engine oil specified by Subaru.
| Engine oil standard | SAE viscosity No. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
|
Those with SN "Resource Conserving" logo in case of API standard. |
or |
Those with GF-5 "starburst mark" displayed on top of the container in case of ILSAC standard. |
5W-30 (synthetic oil) |
NOTE:
The proper viscosity oil helps the engine maintain its ideal temperature, and cranking speed increased by reducing viscosity friction in hot condition.
