Drive Belts; Checking The Oil Level; Manual Transmission Oil - Subaru 2001 Outback Owner's Manual

Drive belts

It is unnecessary to check the deflection of
the drive belt periodically because your
engine is equipped with an automatic belt
tension adjuster. However, replacement of
the belt should be done according to the
maintenance schedule in the "Warranty
and Maintenance Booklet". Consult your
SUBARU dealer for replacement.
If the belt is loose, cracked or worn,
contact your SUBARU dealer.
