Engine Oil

2014 Subaru Impreza Sport LimitedSECTION Engine Oil
  1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
  2. Remove the oil level gauge and wipe away the oil.
  3. Reinsert the oil level gauge all the way. Be sure that the oil level gauge is correctly inserted and properly orientated.
  4. Pull out the oil level gauge again, and check both sides of the oil level gauge. Use a lower side to determine the engine oil level. If the engine oil level is below "L" line, add oil to bring the level up to "F" line.
  5. Start the engine, and spread the oil in engine room.
  6. After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to return to the oil pan before checking the oil level.
    NOTE: To prevent overfilling of engine oil, do not add oil above "F" line when the engine is cold.
