dave valiant Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Should be 80-90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruRichie Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 That's 80 to 90 weight gear oil right? Just want to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 yes, the bottle will probably say 80-85w90 or something. get an extra bottle and change the soup in the rear differential too. someone said that subaru transmissions like half synthetic and half natural gear oil in their manual trannies, and i noticed marginally smoother shifting after doing so in my wagon, FYI.

aprilspies Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 oooh i have a question for anyone reading.....i can't find any leaks or nasty spots under my car but i go through transmission fluid insanely fast. so, either there are secret gnomes who come and steal my fluid or i've got a big problem. I go through a bottle and a half to two bottles ever 3 weeks or so for the past 3-4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 automatic or manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aprilspies Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 it's an automatic.....and this is what is confusing....i have two places for fluid under my hood....the one is always fine and in my book that says manual....the one that's always dry is automatic.....

JWX Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 sounds like the seal between the front diff(is that the right term, guys?) and the tranny part of the transaxle is gone. I'd do a search on it, if I was you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
