Subaru Outback (BR): Checking the fluid level in Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission fluid expands largely as its temperature rises; the fluid level differs according to fluid temperature. Therefore, there are two different scales for checking the level of hot fluid and cold fluid on the level gauge.
Though the fluid level can be checked without warming up the fluid on the “COLD” range, we recommend checking the fluid level when the fluid is at operating temperature.
Checking the fluid level when the fluid is hot
READ NEXT:
1. Drive the vehicle several miles to raise the temperature of the transmission
fluid up to normal operating temperature; 158 to 1768F (70 to 808C) is normal.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface
When the fluid level has to be checked without time to warm up the automatic
transmission, check to see that the fluid level is between the lower level and upper
level on the “COLD” range. If

Using any non-specified type of automatic transmission fluid could result in
damage inside the transmission. When replacing the automatic transmission fluid,

CAUTION
Never replace a fuse with one having a higher rating or with material other than
a fuse because serious damage or a fire could result.
The fuses are designed to melt during an overload to prevent damage to the wiring
harness and electrical equipment. The fuses are located in two fuse b
