When the fluid is hot after the vehicle has been run:
Check that the oil level is between "HOT MIN" and

When the fluid is cool before the vehicle is run: Check
that the oil level is between "COLD MIN" and "COLD
MAX" on the surface of the reservoir tank.

line, add the recommended fluid as necessary to bring
the level between the "MIN" and "MAX" line.

leakage. Consult your SUBARU dealer for an inspec-
tion.
