Rooster2 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Suggest using the Dextron type ATF, the type used in GM cars, and doing so three times. Read past posts on this subject using the search mode on this forum.It would be a good idea to replace the external transmission filter. It looks just like an oil filter, but has a different filtering media. The one I bought cost about $35 from a parts store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86subaru Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 i was thinking that i read that i should use dexton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 i was thinking that i read that i should use dexton 3 Yes, that is correct, but now Dextron 3 denotes a standard, and many manufacturers sell product meeting that standard.

I buy one or the other at AZ, for my two Subie, one a 98, the other a 99, and have had no issues over the past four years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Look for something mentioning for vehicles calling for Dexron III. GM stopped renewing licenses to blenders for Dexron III some time back. The genuine filter is about $20-$25 from dealers selling parts online.
