Subaru Outback (BR): Checking the fluid level in Automatic transmission
Subaru Outback (BR) 2010-2015 Owners Manual / Maintenance and service / Automatic transmission fluid / 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:
Check the fluid level monthly.
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
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 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,

Main fuse
Main fuse box
The main fuses are designed to melt during an overload to prevent damage to the
wiring harness and electrical equipment. Check the main fuses if any electrical
component fails to operate (except the starter motor) and other fuses are good.
A melted main fuse must be replaced.
