Bostonian1976 Posted January 16, 2009 Share 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnifeyMcShanker Posted January 16, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted January 16, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonklein611 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 5W-30 is standard for that car. 0W-30 is good replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sliCCriC Posted January 19, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted January 19, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonklein611 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I just switched to 0W-30, much smoother startup in this cold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
