use. Removal of the rear differential protector is not
required when checking the oil level.

3) Oil level

Remove the plug from the filler hole and check the
oil level. The oil level should be kept even with the
bottom of the filler hole. If the oil level is below the
bottom edge of the hole, add oil through the filler
hole to raise the level.

CAUTION

If the vehicle requires frequent refilling, there
may be an oil leak. If you suspect a problem,
have the vehicle checked at your SUBARU
dealer.
