Specified oil:
CAUTION:
- Use 0W-20 (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 the API standard SM "Energy Conserving" or SN "Resource Conserving" logo. |
or |
Those with the ILSAC standard GF-4 or GF-5 "starburst mark" displayed on top of the container. |
0W-20 (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.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
