Ok, haven't read the whole thread so I apologize if someone already brought this up, but there is conflicting information between this and the owner's manual when it comes to oil level and checking it.

On page PM-5 of this manual it states "As the oil level gauge is used for daily maintenance, 'F' mark and 'L' mark is set assuming that the engine is cold." Meanwhile, the owner's manual says the oil is supposed to be checked at least 5 minutes after running the engine (therefore, hot) to get an accurate reading. So how can techs and owners be on the same page when we get conflicting info from Subaru?

And apologies for the Necro-threading, even if it is a sticky.
