Manual Transmission Fluid:
API GL-5, SAE 75W-90 or 80W-90 (check manual for exact spec)
Automatic Transmission Fluid:
Dexron II or equivalent (check manual for exact spec)
Body Styles:
2-Door Coupe, 4-Door Sedan, 4-Door Station Wagon, 2-Door Hatchback (Leone Custom)
Curb Weight:
Approx. 2300-2700 lbs (depending on body style, transmission, and options)

Front Disc Brakes, Rear Drum Brakes (some performance variants may have rear discs)
Seat Belts:
3-point front seat belts, lap belts in rear
Oil Change:
Every 3,000 miles or 3 months (typical for the era, consult manual for exact specification)
Air Filter Replacement:
Every 15,000 miles or 12 months (typical)
Spark Plug Replacement:
Every 30,000 miles (typical, depending on plug type)
Timing Belt Replacement:
Highly critical for EA82 engines. Typically every 60,000 miles or 5 years. Interference engine design means belt failure causes severe engine damage.
Engine Oil:
API SG or higher, SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 recommended (check manual for exact specifications and temperature ranges)
Coolant:
Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze, 50/50 mix with distilled water. Capacity approx. 6.5 quarts.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 (check manual for exact specification)
Engine Gaskets:
Leaking head gaskets and valve cover gaskets are common due to age and material degradation. The EA82 is also known for potential oil consumption if not maintained.
Cooling System:
Radiator leaks, thermostat failures, and water pump issues can occur. Overheating can lead to blown head gaskets.
Electrical System:
Older wiring harnesses can degrade, leading to intermittent electrical issues. Alternator and starter motor reliability can vary.
4Wd System:
While generally robust, differential and transfer case seals can leak. Periodic fluid changes are crucial.
Turbo Charger Ea82T:
If equipped with the EA82T, premature turbocharger wear or failure can occur if oil maintenance is neglected.
Subaru Specialty:
Subaru is renowned for its development and application of All-Wheel Drive (AWD) technology, pioneered in its early passenger cars like the Leone.
Leone Generation:
The 1989 Loyale Leone is part of the third generation (AL/AG/AA series, 1984-1994), representing a significant evolution in styling and technology from earlier Subaru models.
Manufacturing Locations:
Japan (Subaru's primary manufacturing base)
Production Period For Ea82:
The EA82 engine was produced from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, powering various Subaru models globally.
