Subaru Forester: Engine oil
NOTE
- The engine oil consumption rate is
not stabilized, and therefore cannot be
determined until the vehicle has traveled
at least several thousand miles
(kilometers). Even after break-in, when
the vehicle is used under severe driving
conditions such as those mentioned
in the Warranty and Maintenance
Booklet, engine oil is consumed
or deteriorated more quickly than under
normal driving conditions. If you
drive your vehicle under these severe
conditions, you should check the oil
level at least at every second fuel fill-up
time, and change the oil more frequently.
Please refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Booklet for more details.
- If the oil consumption rate seems abnormally high after the break-in period, for example more than 1 quart per 1,200 miles or 1 liter per 2,000 kilometers, contact your SUBARU dealer.
