F: Coolant Level And Cooling Fan Installation; G: Engine Oil Level - Subaru SVX 1992 Manual

1-4 101FO) PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION
F: COOLANT LEVEL AND COOLING FAN
INSTALLATION
CHECK POINTS
1 . Coolant level
2 . Cooling fan motor and wiring
3. Water leakage and hose damage
a. Always inspect and add at reserve tank when en-
gine is cold .
b. The level must be kept at "FULL" level.
c. Use only genuine
SUBARU Coolant
(P/
N000016218).
d. Avoid using any coolant or only water other than
this designated type to prevent corrosion.
e. SUBARU's engine is aluminum alloy, and so special
care is necessary.
f. If reserve tank is empty, check coolant level in
radiator. Add coolant up to filler neck of radiator, if
necessary.
g. The radiator is a high pressure type. Never attempt
to open the radiator cap when the coolant's tempera-
ture is high ; otherwise boiling water will spurt out. Be
sure to wait until the engine cools down before open-
ing the radiator cap.
h. When retightening the hose clamps, be careful not
to over-tighten them, as doing so could damage the
hose.
G: ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CHECK POINTS
Engine oil level
1) Park vehicle on a level surface .
2) Remove oil level gauge and wipe it clean .
3) Reinsert the level gauge all the way. Be sure that the
level gauge is correctly inserted with the symbol on the
top appearing as shown in the figure 4.
4) Remove level gauge again, and check to ensure that
oil level is between F and L marks on gauge rod . If the
engine oil level is below the "L" line, add oil to bring the
level up to the "F" line (Fig . 5) .
a. Before checking oil level, ensure that engine is cold .
b. Do not check oil level immediately after engine or
vehicle has stopped ; wait at least 10 minutes.
c. Just after driving or while the engine is warm, the
engine oil level may be in the range between the "F°"
line and the "notch" mark . This is caused by thermal
expansion of the engine oil .
d. To prevent overfilling the engine oil, do not add oil
above the "F" line when the engine is cold.
