INTRODUCTION:
To help reduce confusion and increase technician efficiency, Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) has
developed the following cross reference list to help locate the appropriate Special Service Tool.
There are situations where the tool called for in the Service Manual is not the tool that SOA
recommends for the job. Examples of these situations include:
* An equivalent tool is offered under a different part number
* SOA develops a tool that is not included in the Service Manual
To help locate tools, in addition to the Service Manual Tool Part Number and the Special Service
Tool Part Number, where available, the part number for the essential tool kit release has been
included.
REMINDER: SOA strongly discourages the printing and/or local storage of service information as
previously released information and electronic publications may be updated at any time. Always refer
to STIS for the latest service information before performing any repairs.
If you have questions or suggestions, please contact Subaru Service Operations at
serviceoperations@subaru.com.
