Subaru Outback: California fuel
If your vehicle was certified to California Emission Standards as indicated on
the underhood tune-up label, it is designed to optimize engine and emission control
system performance with gasoline that meets the clean burning low-sulfur California
gasoline specifications. If you live in any other state than California, your vehicle
will operate on gasoline meeting Federal specifications. Gasoline sold outside California
is permitted to have higher sulfur levels, which may affect the performance of your
vehicle’s catalytic converter and may produce a sulfur exhaust odor or smell. SUBARU
recommends that you try a different brand of unleaded gasoline having lower sulfur
to determine if the problem is fuel related before returning your vehicle to an
authorized dealer for service. The CHECK ENGINE warning light/malfunction indicator
lamp may also turn on. If this occurs, return to your authorized SUBARU dealer for
diagnosis. If it is determined that the condition is caused by the type of fuel
used, repairs may not be covered by your warranty.
