Subaru Forester: Starting and operating / Fuel
CAUTION
- Use of a fuel which is low in
quality or use of an inappropriate
fuel additive may cause damage
to the engine and/or fuel system.
- Some gas stations, particularly
those in high altitude areas, offer
fuels posted as regular octane
gasoline with an octane rating
below 87 AKI (90 RON). Use of
those fuels is not recommended.
The engine is designed to operate using
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
of 87 AKI (90 RON) or higher.
Mexico only
Add a bottle of genuine SUBARU fuel
additive to the fuel every 9,000 miles
(15,000 km)...
Other information:
The journey time shows the time that has
elapsed since the ignition switch was
turned to the “ON” position.
The journey time indication flashes each
time a complete hour has elapsed. If the
display is giving a reading other than the
journey time, the display switches to the
journey time, flashes for 5 seconds, and
returns to its original reading each time a
complete hour has elapsed...
To help prevent moisture from forming in
the fuel system and the risk of its freezing,
use of an antifreeze additive in the fuel
tank is recommended during cold weather.
Use only additives that are specifically
designed for this purpose. When an antifreeze
additive is used, its effect lasts
longer if the tank is refilled whenever the
fuel level reaches half empty...
