Additional Notes
- All four configurations of the Subaru Legacy / Outback BD, BG, BK (EU) share a uniform power steering fluid capacity of 0.7 liter, covering both the 2.0 and 2.2 engine variants across two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive drivetrains.
- A 0.7 liter figure for a power steering system represents a relatively modest reservoir volume, consistent with a rack-and-pinion or recirculating-ball hydraulic assist system where the fluid circuit is compact and self-contained.
- The 2.0-liter two-wheel-drive variant is the only configuration carrying an explicit service check interval, specified at every 25,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
- The 25,000 km or 12-month check interval on the 2.0 non-4WD model applies specifically to normal use conditions, meaning the interval is not adjusted for severe operating environments within the available specifications for that row.
- The 2.0 and 2.2 engine variants share identical 0.7 liter capacity figures, indicating no meaningful difference in power steering system volume between the two displacement options across the 1994-1998 overlapping model years.
- The 2.2-liter variants, both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive, cover the 1994-1998 period, while the 2.0-liter variants extend through 1999, representing a one-year difference in the covered range between the two engine families.
