The recommended oil type for the Subaru EX35 engine is SAE 10W-30, but you should check your owner’s manual for any specific requirements based on your region or climate conditions.
It is recommended to change the oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions and habits. Always refer to your owner’s manual for the manufacturer's recommended maintenance intervals.
The correct spark plug gap for the Subaru EX35 engine is typically 0.028 to 0.031 inches. It's important to use a feeler gauge to ensure the gap is set correctly.
Begin by checking the battery connections, ensuring they are clean and tight. Verify that there is adequate fuel, and check the spark plug condition. If the engine still won't start, it may require professional diagnostic testing.
If your engine overheats, turn off the engine immediately and allow it to cool. Check the coolant level and look for leaks. If the problem persists, consult a professional mechanic.
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure your tires are properly inflated, replace air filters regularly, and perform regular maintenance like oil changes and spark plug replacements. Avoid excessive idling and aggressive driving habits.
The recommended coolant type for the Subaru EX35 engine is a long-life ethylene glycol-based antifreeze. Ensure it is mixed with distilled water in a 50/50 ratio.
To perform a compression test, remove the spark plugs, disable the fuel system, and use a compression gauge on each cylinder. Crank the engine and record the pressure readings, comparing them against the manufacturer's specifications.
Common signs include excessive oil consumption, unusual noises, loss of power, and smoke from the exhaust. If these symptoms occur, it's important to have the engine checked by a professional.
Regular maintenance should include oil and filter changes, checking and replacing air filters, spark plug inspection, and coolant level checks. Adhering to the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual is crucial for engine longevity.
