Automatic Transmission Fluid
INSPECTION
NOTE:
The level of ATF varies with fluid temperature. Pay attention to the fluid temperature when checking ATF level.
1. Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the engine to raise ATF temperature to 70 - 80°C
(158 - 176°F) on SUBARU Select Monitor.
2. Make sure the vehicle is level.
3. After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1), set the select lever in "P" range. Measure the ATF level with the engine idling for one or two
minutes.
4. Make sure that ATF level is between the upper level and lower level at HOT side.
If the level is below the lower level, check for leaks in the transmission. If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace gasket, oil seals, plugs or
other parts.
CAUTION:
^
Use care not to exceed the upper limit level.
^
Filling of ATF to the upper level when the transmission is cold will result in overfilling of ATF, causing a transmission failure.
5. Check ATF level after raising ATF temperature to 70 - 80°C (158 - 176°F) by driving the distance of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles) or by idling the
engine.
