• Each quantity indicated is only a guideline. The necessary quantity for replacement may differ slightly depending on the temperature and other factors.

• In choosing an oil, you want the proper quality and viscosity, as well as one that will enhance fuel economy. Oils of lower viscosity provide better fuel economy. However, in hot weather, oil of higher viscosity is required to properly lubricate the engine. The following table lists the recommended viscosities and applicable temperatures.

• When adding oil, different brands may be used together as long as they are the same API classification and SAE viscosity as those recommended by SUBARU.
