In choosing an oil, you want the proper quality and viscosity, as well as
one that will add to fuel economy. The following table lists the recom-

When adding oil, different brands may be used together as long as they
are the same API classification and SAE viscosity as those recom-
mended by SUBARU.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) affects fuel economy. Oils of lower vis-
