Gear oil level
y Be careful not to spill rear differential gear oil
when adding it. If rear differential gear oil
touches the exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad
smell, smoke, and/or a fire. If rear differential
gear oil gets on the exhaust pipe, be sure to
wipe it off.
y
If the vehicle requires frequent refilling, there
may be an oil leak. If you suspect a problem,
have the vehicle checked at your SUBARU deal-
er.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a rear differential
protector. The differential protector provides protec-
tion to the rear differential assembly during off-road
use. Removal of the rear differential protector is not re-
quired when checking the oil level.
