1989 Subaru GL-10 Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light in my GL-10 turn on when I start my car? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is just your GL-10 testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Subaru engine sound different? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Subaru GL-10. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage a Subaru engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Subaru GL-10 engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
