Subaru Outback (BR): Checking the fluid level when the fluid is cold
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. Be careful not to overfill.
CAUTION
Be careful not to spill automatic transmission fluid when adding it. If automatic
transmission fluid touches the exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad smell, smoke, and/or
