Scheme 51

1. Set the vehicle on a lift.
2. Open the engine oil filter cap for quick draining of the engine oil. 2.5 L model 3.0 L model
3. Lift up the vehicle.
4. Drain the engine oil by removing the engine oil drain plug. NOTE: Prepare the container for draining of engine oil. 2.5 L model 3.0 L model
5. Tighten the engine oil drain plug after draining the engine oil. CAUTION: If the engine oil is split over exhaust pipe or the under cover, wipe it off with cloth to avoid emitting smoke or causing a fire. NOTE: Use a new drain plug gasket. Tightening torque: 44 N.m (4.5 kgf-m, 33 ft-lb) 2.5 L model 3.0 L model
6. Fill engine oil through the level gauge up to the upper level. Place the vehicle on a level surface when checking oil level. Use engine oil of the proper quality and viscosity, selected in accordance with the following. Recommended oil: Refer to "RM" section. < Ref. to «LUBRICANTS»(ref-306916-S13819006042008122600000) , RECOMMENDED MATERIALS, Recommended Materials . > 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 capacity 2.5 L model Upper level: Approx. 4.0 l (4.2 US qt, 3.5 lmp qt) Lower level: Approx. 3.0 l (3.2 US qt, 2.6 lmp qt) 3.0 L model Upper level: Approx. 5.5 l (5.8 US qt, 4.8 lmp qt) Lower level: Approx. 4.5 l (4.8 US qt, 4.0 lmp qt) CAUTION: It is acceptable to fill an engine with oil of another brand when replacing the oil, but make sure to use an oil with an API standard and SAE viscosity number specified by Subaru. NOTE: If the vehicle is used in regions of high temperature or in other severe environments, use oil with the viscosities shown below. API Standard: SM SAE Viscosity No.: 30, 40,10W-50, 20W-40, 20W-50
7. Close the engine oil filler cap.
8. Start the engine and warm it up for a time.
9. Stop the engine to inspect the oil level again. If necessary, add engine oil up to the upper level on level gauge. < Ref. to «INSPECTION»(ref-306916-S04972951572008122600000) , Engine Oil . >

Scheme 53

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
3. Reinsert the level gauge all the way. Be sure that the level gauge is correctly inserted and in the proper orientation.
4. Remove the level gauge again and record the oil level. If the engine oil level is below the "L" line, add oil to bring the level up to the "F" line. 2.5 L model 3.0 L model
5. Start and warm-up the engine.
6. After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan before checking the level. NOTE: Just after driving or while the engine is warm, engine oil level may show in the range between the "F" line and the notch mark. This is caused by thermal expansion of engine oil. (2.5L model)
7. To prevent overfilling the engine oil, do not add oil above the "F" line when the engine is cold. CAUTION: If the engine oil is spilt over exhaust pipe or the under cover, wipe it off with cloth to avoid emitting smoke or causing a fire. NOTE: Upper level and lower level are set when the engine is cold because the oil level gauge is used for daily maintenance.

POWER STEERING FLUID FOR LEAKS

Inspect the underside of oil pump and gearbox of power steering system, hoses, pipes and their couplings for fluid leaks.

If the fluid leaks are found, retighten their fitting bolts (or nuts) and/or replace their parts.

Note. Wipe the leaked fluid off after correcting fluid leaks. Also pay attention to clearances between hoses (or pipes) and other parts when inspecting fluid leaks.
