zmarrott Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) does anyone know what fluid goes in the 5 speed dual range 4wd manual transmission? its out of an 88 GL. i accidentally spilled most of the fluid while the transmission was disconnected.

That's pretty heavy for your transmission. I've bought the 75w-multi at NAPA several times. Works great. Subaru needs a lighter weight fluid than 90 weight.

987687 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 75w-90 is fine, just make sure you get a GL-5 rated gear oil otherwise your diff will be destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
