Maintenance and service/Engine oil
weather.
NOTE
. Changing the engine oil and oil filter
should be performed by a well-trained
expert. We recommend that you con-
tact your SUBARU dealer for changing
the engine oil and oil filter. Fully trained
mechanics are on standby at a
SUBARU dealer to utilize the special
tools, spare parts and recommended
oil for this work, and also, used oils are
properly disposed of.
. If performing oil replacement your-
self, observe the local regulations and
dispose of waste oil properly.
. For diesel engine models, the en-
gine oil replacement data that is stored
in the on-board computer should be
reset using a special tool every time
engine oil and the oil filter are replaced.
If the data is not reset, the diesel
particulate filter warning indicator does
not operate properly. To reset the data
of the on-board computer without a
special tool, see the following item.

cessful, repeat steps 1) through 5) after

dures.
