APPLICABILITY
ALL JUSTY MODELS
SUBJECT: OIL LEVEL CHECKING PROCEDURES
Listed is the correct procedure for checking the oil level on all Justy Models. This procedure will eliminate the possibility of an inaccurate reading caused by residual oil from the dipstick tube collecting on the outward side of the dipstick as it is extracted.
Oil Level Checking procedure:
^ Extract the dipstick and wipe it clean.
^ Reinsert the dipstick until the dipstick stopper contacts the dipstick tube collar.
^ Extract the dipstick and read the measurement on the inward side of the dipstick (side facing the engine).
A production change has been made to all Justy dipsticks starting with engine #EF660501, production date 2/19/88. The new dipstick is stamped with the word "Subaru" to distinguish the outward side of the dipstick.
