WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- Turn the ignition switch to OFF, and wait until the engine cools.
- Remove the oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
- Reinsert the oil level gauge all the way. Be sure that the oil level gauge is correctly inserted in the proper direction.
- Pull out the oil level gauge again, and check the oil level. If it is at the lower level or less, add oil through the oil level gauge hole to bring the level up to the upper level.
