(boxer engine) oil pumping.

Asked by Al Sep 27, 2019 at 09:31 PM about the 2014 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited

Question type: General

My wife often idles our 2014 Outback (boxer engine) on our mildly uphill
driveway for up to an hour sometimes when the baby has fallen asleep in the
car seat. With the oil pan at that angle do I need to be concerned that the oil
pump has access to enough oil with the car in that position.

If you have idled the engine for an hour and it did not seize up this is proof that it was oiling OK.
