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.

NOTE: The proper viscosity oil helps the engine maintain its ideal temperature, and cranking speed increased by reducing viscosity friction in hot condition.

Engine oil standard			SAE viscosity No.

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.
Do not use 0W-20 for turbo model. If used for turbo model, it may lead to trouble.

NOTE: The proper viscosity oil helps the engine maintain its ideal temperature, and cranking speed increased by reducing viscosity friction in hot condition.
