Subaru Outback (BR): Refueling in cold weather

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.
If your SUBARU is not going to be used for an extended period, it is best to
have the fuel tank filled to capacity.
