Clutch fluid (MT vehicles)

Checking the fluid level

Never let clutch fluid contact your
eyes because clutch fluid can be
harmful to your eyes. If clutch fluid
gets in your eyes, immediately flush
them thoroughly with clean water.
For safety, when performing this
work, wearing eye protection is ad-
visable.
Clutch fluid absorbs moisture
from the air. Any absorbed mois-
ture can cause improper clutch
operation.
If the vehicle requires frequent re-
filling, there may be a leak. If you
suspect a problem, have the vehi-
cle checked at your SUBARU
dealer.
Never use different brands of
clutch fluid together.
When clutch fluid is added, be
careful not to allow any dirt into
the tank.
Never splash the clutch fluid over
painted surfaces or rubber parts.
Alcohol contained in the clutch
fluid may damage them.
Be careful not to spill clutch fluid
when adding it. If clutch fluid
touches the exhaust pipe, it may
cause a bad smell, smoke, and/or
a fire. If clutch fluid gets on the ex-
haust pipe, be sure to wipe it off.
Check the fluid level on the outside of the
reservoir. If the level is below "MIN" level
mark, add the recommended clutch fluid
to "MAX" level mark.
Use only clutch fluid from a sealed con-
tainer.
