Bostonian1976 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Hoping you guys can help on two easy questions I have on my 1998 2.2 Legacy L wagon... 1) What oil weight does this car take? I don't have a manual unfortunately, hence my somewhat obvious questions. 2) Where is the rear washer fluid tank for my wagon? I can't find it anywhere! I can't imagine it comes from the front tank... thanks in advance!!
KnifeyMcShanker Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I've always used 10W-30 on my 2.5GT. Don't think the 2.2 would be much different. As for the fluid tank, I dunno I drive a sedan There's bound to be someone on here soon though that has a wagon.
Bdubs Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 There isn't a rear reservoir on the 95-99 wagons, it is drawn from the front reservoir. Depending on where you live, like today, in my location it is 4*F. 5w30 is a good weight for that weather, or anywhere where it gets below freezing consistently. Summer, a heavier oil is fine, I use diesel grade 15w40 in the warm months.
ehsnils Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 As for oil - take a look at this thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79800 Maybe you will get some more answers - or answers you didn't want.
jonklein611 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 5W-30 is standard for that car. 0W-30 is good replacement.
sliCCriC Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 buy the best 10w-30 that you could find... the oil is your cars blood, dont be stingey with that stuff
sliCCriC Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 washer fluid tank... i have heard that its the main washer bottle, there is a 3rd washer line that runs down the car and sprays the rear window

ehsnils Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I would also say 5W-30 or even 5W-40. During winter 0W-30 or 0W-40 would be even better if you live where it's really cold.
jonklein611 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I just switched to 0W-30, much smoother startup in this cold...
