Notes
1. When the vehicle is used under severe driving conditions**, the engine oil and filter should be changed every 6,000 km (3,750 miles) or 3.75 months.
2. When the vehicle is used in extremely cold or hot weather areas, contamination of the filter may occur and filter replacement should be performed more often.
3. When the vehicle is frequently operated under severe driving conditions, replacement should be performed every 24,000 km (15,000 miles).
4. When the vehicle is frequently operated under severe driving conditions, such as mountain driving, replacement should be performed every 24,000 km (15,000 miles).
5. When the vehicle is used in high humidity areas or in mountainous areas, change the brake fluid every 24,000 km (15,000 miles) or 15 months, whichever occurs first.
6. When the vehicle is used under severe driving conditions**, inspection should be performed every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or 7.5 months, whichever occurs first.
7. This inspection is not required to maintain emission warranty eligibility and it does not affect the manufacturer's obligations under EPA's in-use compliance program.
8. When the vehicle is used in extremely dusty conditions, the air cleaner element should be replaced more often.
f
9. The ATF ffilter is a maintenance-free
part. The ATF ffilter needs replacement when it has been physically damaged or ATF has leaked.
10. A tire should be replaced when the tread wear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread. The indicators appear when the remaining tread has been worn to 1.6 mm (0.063 in) or less.
11. Periodic inspection and replacement of the camshaft drive chains on the 3.0 liter models are not required.
12. To prevent cooling system leaks, always add Genuine Subaru Cooling System Conditioner (Part no. SOA635071) whenever the coolant is replaced.
