I like the fact this guy never talks in his vids
He's artistic
He actually talks a lot, just not in these videos.
It's funny because I find it unnerving when people don't talk in their videos.
Just changed mine on an 06 forester thanks to this videos help.
Thanks for taking the time to make this useful tutorial.
Thanks for specifying the Torx T-70 tool size. Just what I needed.
I'm glad you state the pressure required, it is my biggest deterent in getting in and doing it myself.
Just as a reference for those with an automatic: the automatic versions have the same differential/center differential drain and fill location, although the ATF fill tube is on the exact opposite side of the differential fill location (between windshield washer bottle and the throttle body. The drain is a 17mm bolt down below. The filter is on the transmission housing or tucked behind the driver's fender behind the driver's headlight (depending on year/model Subaru). -- I've always had good luck doing a drain and fill with Valvoline full synthetic ATF and some Lucas ATF stabilizer.
Having mr Subaru on CZcams is so good!!
Well done! Thanks for posting! Keep up the great work! 👍🏼
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻
your videos are very helpful
you’re a skilled, conscientious Technician
Rather than clean oil off the exhaust, wrap the exhaust with some aluminum foil before draining the fluid.
Then it's just a matter of taking off and tossing the foil.
Uses less harsh chemicals this way, etc.
Brake clean is not a harsh chemical
@@calebtaylor3835 uh yes it is genius
When I change my gearbox oil, the first thing I do is get the new gearbox oil and leave the bottles in the sun. When it comes time to fill it back up the oil will run a lot easier.
You can also put the bottles in a bucket of very hot water.
Good tip!
I just bought a 2005 legacy manual and i found this well done video thanks ,
Thanks for the video showing how to change transmission/differ oil, my 02 WRX has 21mm transmission drain plug.
+Władysław Kurcharczyk you're welcome 👍
Władysław Kurcharczyk ty for that
He is a Man of few words.I like that quality in a person.I hate people too.I really hate them when they talk.I would get along with this guy.We could work on cars all day, and not say a word.
Nice video! Straight to the point ! Love it !!!
+MGK Frankk glad you enjoyed the video. 👍
Many thanks. That was very clear and helpful. Added bonus to include rear diff also 👍
Thank you for this very helpful tutorial!
Thank you for this perfect guide!
In my country I cannot use 80w90 instead of 75w90 because of low temperatures during winter. I used 80w90 in my Lancer once (spec was also 75w90) and I couldn't shift into second gear until the transmission warmed up.
Thanks mate
What I found was mine had a 21mm hex bolt, and instead of taking off the air chamber i used a long flexible funnel
Personally, I buy a Haynes/Chilton repair manual for every vehicle I've owned for decades. They may not be perfect but they do answer a lot of questions and it saves a good amount of coin. However, videos like this are a step beyond repair manuals because it shows how it is done. - Knowledge is power but experience is better.
Keep up the good work. I have an 01 outback. The service manual mentions type T and VA drain plugs on the differentials. How do i know which i have?
love your torque wrench
+Neil B thank you 👍
Master. Good video. I m from Chile. I love my subaru.
+Ricardo Cornejo thank you.
I do not speak english but I follow all your videos.greetings from Chile
+Ricardo Cornejo that's awesome! Glad you enjoy my videos. 👍
Thank you for this video. I was able to fill it back up w/o removing any intake pieces, the funnel I had slipped right through. 2005 FXS
You're welcome. Glad to help. 👍🏻
Hello,
I have a Subaru Impreza P1, can you tell me the correct oil for the gearbox and for the differential?
I read that the 75w90 is recommended is this correct? ..
But I also have this doubt: is it appropriate to use normal oil or oil with additives for LS "limited slip" differentials?
Thanks a lot and congratulations for your interesting channel !!!
Hello Mr Subaru!
I have a Subaru forester 2005 with low / high Gear. It has front, center and rear diferential? IT is 1994 cc and 125 HP. Thank you!
Love Your videos!
Was doing the fluids of the SpecB 6MT, mother of god who tightens the drain plugs...:( I removed the T70 (, somehow) with a breaker bar but no chance of removing the drain plug on the oil pan. Really annoyed that people tighten the life out of these things. I'm going to take to a garage with a hoist to get this done. 2 litres were drained but another 2 are sitting in the oil pan
Thanks I couldn't get a t70 and the t60 worked !
Hey I have a question if you don’t mind, I have the 16’ crosstrek. How do I know if it is low by looking at the dip stick and what should I use to fill it? The dip stick has a 1/2 . The level right now is at about at the half way mark between the 1&2. I don’t want to over fill but would def like to keep it filled
Hey i appreciate your content and have been watching for awhile. I bought an 11 wrx the manual says a gl5 75w90. Most of them in the stores have limited slip additive which i assume wouldn't be advisable in the transmission. Am i good to just run a conventional 75w90 like Valvoline? Or would a synthetic 75w90 with ls additive not cause any issues?
Redline 75w90NS
they make it just for transaxle. Worth every penny
Any idea the fluid capacity of a 2006 wrx 5 speed? Also what kind of fluid?
Hi , thanks for the vid. I'm prepping MTX and diffs oil change on a 2005 EJ51 non-turbo AWD Forester, which is the same running gear as the Legacy here I think. So am I right that i'm looking at 75w-90 GL5 all round, 0.8Lts in rear diff, 1.2Lts in front/center diff , and 3.5-4Lts in gearbox?? Appreciate your clarification on this. Thanks again.
I tried it yesterday on my 2.0i Legacy and I have no problems with the rear diff... The trouble was on the front..the drain plug is a Torx T70 but I couldnt loosen up it,and i tried really hard. Any ideas??Gym??Hulk??
Thanks @MrSubaru1387 !!
That air intake chamber you have to remove. Does it make any difference to run the engine without it? like if you were to put an ordinary elbow to the throttle body?
Very helpful video, one question my transmission is equipped with dual range is the capacity of oil the same or more? I have read somewhere in manual it takes 4L but still not sure. Thanks
dual range manual transmission is 4 L. 0.8 L for the back diff.
How many miles on the transmission before you change also did you change bottom case filter and how its been running now ? Thank you
Thank you!
Mine leaks...
Should add that stop leak stuff that helps the main seal? How much reg tranny fluid & hot much of that stop leak stuff?
Are the torque specs for the drain and fill plugs the same on 03 WRX 5MT?
What washer do I need for an 01 Subaru Legacy? Do you know off hand? Also would I get the same washer for the oil drain plug?
The transaxle with high/low gear selection has 4.0 liter capacity using the same gl-5 75w90 oil
I'd be interested in whether servicing a CVT model is something I can do DIY, or should only be entrusted to a qualified shop. Gonna look and see if you already posted a video about that.
+VideoNOLA I have not. Haven't really worked on any CVT models.
What did you use to clean the oil off the exhaust?
you are a master
Thank you great vid
You're welcome.
@@MrSubaru1387 I have a MY99 GC8 WRX JDM the only version we get here in Australia, and I must say your channel is my new favourite channel as it actually shows you doing it not just someone talking about it and say they have done it etc. So thank you for the in depth advice and videos. I'm doing a marathon and saving them. Cheers from Sydney Australia
Awesome, welcome to the channel!
Are there vents that can become clogged for the transmission front differential?
Hi I have a question. I have a 2007 impreza manual transmission. My clutch will squeak (in neutral and in gear), till I push the clutch in and it does take much on the clutch pedal to make it stop. I see the part that makes the noise and if I touch it just right the sounds goes away. It looks like it has a grease nipple on it. If any of this makes sense, can you please let me know something about it.
Very helpful 👍
For the models with a “limited slip” rear, do you need a friction modifier or can you just use the regular gear oil?
Joseph Furey it’s best to use limited slip formulated gear oil. I use Motul Gear 300 for front/trans and Gear 300 LS for rear. If you’ve got a higher mileage 5 speed I’d suggest looking into ‘Scotty’s Cocktail’ on NASIOC for the trans and front diff
forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=920674
i bet that smells great
How much different is this from a 1994 with a 2.2? I just bought mine to use as a pizza delivery car and I know very little about Subaru. I’m pretty good with most other brands.
I bought mine for $700 with over 200,000 miles on it. Still looks and runs good just needs the typical ware parts like tierods, ball joints, etc. nothing major. I subscribed to your channel a few days ago when I stumbled across you after buying this car. Any quick tips or advice would be much appreciated!
Pretty much the same if we're talking about servicing the transmission.
Do you have any recommendations for the correct gear oil? Seems Subaru Extra-S Gear Oil was the go to but now there's so many opinions and feedback about hard shifting in the cold to grinding gears after a few thousand miles, I'm at a loss as to what brand or concoctions would be good.
It's expensive, but Motul Gear 300 is on of very few that work here; its a GL-5 gear oil with the friction modifiers that work with passenger car / light truck Synchronizers.
So does this take care of the front differential fluid as well? I'm changing out my CV axles and some fluid came out so I'm changing the fluid now. 2009 forester 2.5x manual. Thanks!
All the same on manual trans.
awesome thanks
Could you do a video of a 2018+ 6 speed manual Fluid change. It is hard to find videos and I want to make sure there isn't a transfer case and or front dif. I think the front dif and transfer case are all part of the manual transmission but I want to be sure.
Is it common for those washers to start leaking if it gets old enough ? , I have a small leak from under my car and i’m pretty sure it smells like trans fluid and the only place I can see it leaking from is from that bolt since it always ends up on my catalytic converter , I looked everywhere underneath car so that’s my only thought
I'm running in to a similar problem right now on my '04 Forester. I put some dye in to try to find the leak. Good luck finding yours.
The drain plug on the manual transmission is stuck on my 2004 Outback. I'm using a 21mm socket and a 24" breaker bar. I've soaked it twice in penetrating oil. Anything else to try to get it unstuck?
Probably gonna be buying a 2003 forester with a 5 speed manual. On another video you showed the center diff taking 1.2-1.4 quarts I think. Was that on an auto car or are there two different fill points on the front of the car one for one diff another for trans on a manual
The manual trans and front diff share gear oil. The auto front diff uses gear oil, separate from the rest of the transmission.
MrSubaru1387 thanks. Love the vids. Started watching months before even thinking of buying a Subaru (looking now cause my Jeep died).
What is the name of the pump you used to fill the rear diff gear oil with?
+Lou Barradas it was a cheap hand pump I bought at Advance Auto Parts years ago.
For the 5MT, is any GL-5 oil good? People say it's not safe for yellow alloys. Seeing that subaru specs gl-5 as the hypoid gear and transmission share the same oil, I'm inclined to use gl-5 gear oil. That being said, are lsd friction modifiers ok to use if it's already part of the gear oil I purchase? Have you tried Lucas Heavy Duty Gear oil 80W90? It says it's "excellent for lsd" and has a PG-2 limited slip rating...
I know the transfer case shares the same fluid with the front diff but do manual subaru transmissions also take normal atf or is the 75w90 shared between the transfer case/front diff/gear box
+Travis Hurd the front differential, manual transmission gears, and center diff all share the same gear oil. ATF is only for the automatic.
MrSubaru1387, did not know thank you, love your videos keep them up!
+Travis Hurd you're welcome. Glad to help. 👍
What MrSubaru1387 said. The automatic versions have the same differential/center differential drain and fill location, although the ATF fill is on the exact opposite side of the differential fill location (between windshield washer bottle and the throttle body. The drain is a 17mm bolt down below. The filter is on the transmission housing or tucked behind the driver's fender behind the driver's headlight. -- I've always had good luck doing a drain and fill with Valvoline full synthetic ATF and some Lucas ATF stabilizer.
Hello. Just about to change the trans fluid on my manual 2014 WRX. Do you recommend using a particular brand of fluid or does it not matter just as long as I get the right W rating? I live in an area that gets fairly harsh winters (teens to low thirties) and my reverse gear is a little stubborn sometimes when I try to shift into it. I don’t know if that’s a weather or fluid related problem . Or maybe it’s just a Subaru thing. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
My 04 Impreza OBS had a T-70 not the 20mm hex head
My 2002 Impreza outback sport manual has a clonking noise when I accelerate and when I let off the gas, it looks like is coming from the rear differential butt I am not sure where to start looking for the problem.
+jose Cordero I'd start by looking at the transmission mount.
MrSubaru1387 ok thanks alot I star there, also the car had a mismatch set of tires, so it makes me wonder if the transmission was affected.
+jose Cordero that's possible. Mismatched tires can be pretty hard on a Subaru's drivetrain.
Do you check the oil while the car is running and in neutral? I did this with my 09 Impreza
Running in park. Up to temp.
Is this the exact same process for a 2010 2.5x forester?
I always cover my exhaust with a garbage or shopping bag.
The old oil you just drained doesn't look bad at all .how many miles was that oil ?
No clue. First replacement since owning it.
So the previous owner of my car lost the users manual, where can i find out what oil/fluid i need? And i assume the amount of torque for each plug is in that data too?
Year, model?

Do you have any clips of those rear toe arms being replaced?
+Andy Opshinsky no, not so far I don't.
we have one a - 2013 forester, dont know if is CVT or an automatic, any ideas...thanks.
Changed the tranny oil on 99 manual forester after god knows how many miles, it came out pretty thick and black, now there is an audible noise coming from the transmission at idle that wasn't there before, I'm thinking I overfilled a bit? A mechanic told me it's best to check the fluid level when the engine is running so it doesn't all collect in the pan and give you a false high reading, any truth to that? thank you
That amount of metal material on the drain plug is normal at 1:40? I changed diff fluid in my 05 WRX wagon after I bought it with approx 30k on the fluid, and the plug looked pretty clean no shards. I just bought a 02 sedan and the plug looked similar to at 1:40 and the transmission is definitely not doing great.
+Cody S. Normal for 170k miles with unknown service history. The material was extremely fine in size. I would only be concerned if I had bigger shavings, slivers, chunks, etc.
+MrSubaru1387 ok thanks. I'm sure this is highly dependent the driving of previous owner (or vehicle owner, in your case). Good to know though i figured my synchros were completely shredded
+Cody S. Being a WRX, I assume you're having some issues with the synchros hanging up? I had similar issues with my 04 WRX. I used Redline Lightweight Shockproof in my transmission, helped a lot. Then again, it was merely a band-aid. The transmission was still in need of a rebuild, but it shifted well enough to daily it. It had had a hard life and been beaten on, modified, and raced a lot.
+MrSubaru1387 +MrSubaru1387 on my sedan, I have a lot of difficulty engaging 1st gear half the time, and reverse maybe 10% of the time. Other gears no prob. The shifter is very tight, and the linkage and clutch feel great but I can't physically get it into first from a stop without trying a few times and getting a grind more often than it should when it does go.
+Cody S. That was my issue. 1st gear synchro. Try some Redline.
Thank you for this video. Question: Looks like on manual transmission Subaru's - the front differential and the transmission itself "share" the same oil...is this correct? In other words in this video you are changing both the front differential *and* the transmission fluid?
Correct. Manual transmission and front differential share the same gear oil.
@@MrSubaru1387 Thank you!
You're welcome.
@@MrSubaru1387 Thank you
@@MrSubaru1387 Was it just a trick of the light or did the Trans/diff fluid drained look red (indicating ATF and that someone made a booboo?) and you replaced it with the 75w90 gear oil?
Hi! Will you see a better gas mileage after changing the transmission + diff oil? Is there any meaning of the color of the oil you are draining? The transmission oil looked pretty ok. Thanks!
No mpg improvement. You replace the transmission fluid so your transmission doesn't die. Fluid should be translucent red. If it's brown, change it. If it smells burnt or near black in color, you might be rebuilding /replacing the transmission soon.
@@MrSubaru1387 Will there be any difference while shifting? Like smoother gear changing in a manual or anything?
Possible.
In theory I can use 80W90 instead of 75W90 in the transmission / diff, but one is mineral and the other is synthetic. Does the synthetic Motul 75W90 worth almost double the price?
Question. For a '97 ej22 manual motor, would you recommend that same transmission fluid you used in the video?
Yes. Regular 75W-90 gear oil for the 5MT transmission.
Awesome! Thank you sir
@@michaelmarinos7171 you're welcome. 👍🏻
I’m confused, I thought Subarus only have a rear diff and the transmission acting as the front axle. If I drained my transmission fluid is that considered the front diff? I have a 5 speed manual.
Subaru have a front, center, and rear diff. On the manual trans, front and center diff share the manual trans gear oil.
Would this apply to a 2015 Impreza 2.0 wagon?
Question about filling up the rear diff with the gear oil. Other than the fact of looking up to see how much you need, how can you tell if you've put enough in there? Like the front diff/tranny has a dipstick but I didn't see one for the rear diff.
You fill the rear diff until fluid drips out of the fill hole.
Seems like it would be too late then and you'd have too much, no? Is that what that 3rd bolt is for to drain excess fluid located to the right of the fill & drain bolts?
MrSubaru1387 An answer would be appreciated. Also, you said it's a T60 socket for the trans drain bolt, but what size is needed for the rear diff drain bolt?
I answered the question. You fill the rear diff until gear oil flows back out of the bottom of the fill plug. That's the level. The older rear diffs used a 1/2" drive square for the plugs, can't recall the size of the newer ones off hand.
MrSubaru1387 Thank you kind sir!
My tramission is leaking on my 05 Subaru Outback XT. How do I add fuild???
The dipstick tube.
Transmission drain plug will not move at all. Tried ratchet with hammer and cheater pipe, actually sheared my extension where it connects to the ratchet. This is after soaking with PB Blaster. Is it okay if I pull the fluid out the fill plug using a pump? Not ideal but I'm afraid I'll hurt myself or break more tools if I keep trying. Thought of taking to a garage and have them hit it with an impact wrench. Any thoughts?
Yeah, like you said, not the best, but better than nothing to do it that way.
Sorry, just saw that this was transmission. Thought it was the rear diff. Going to be kind of difficult to suction the transmission.
@@MrSubaru1387 it actually worked really well! Purchased a simple fluid pump from the hardware store and fitted with a slightly smaller clear plastic tubing down into the transmission. Pulled out almost a full gallon, pumped it straight into an old milk jug. I was pleasantly surprised how easy this was and didn't have to mess with lifting the car and being on the ground. Of course I drove the car a while before doing this since pumping cold gear fluid would not have worked well.
What would be a cause for a bit of gearbox whine in a Subaru transmission? My 6sp has a pretty distinct whine to it in all gears but alot of the forums say this is just how they are. It stil shifts nice sometimes a little hard but nothing major
+BookandRegan some of it can be normal, some can be from wear and tear. Kind of hard to say. What the yr, model, mileage? Have you serviced the transmission?
Yeah I would say wear and tear potentially. 2005 3.0r 6sp 175'000kms (108'000miles) when I bought the car second hand I replaced the current trans-diff and rear diff oil with Castrol Syntrax Universal Plus 75w-90 after reading some forums. I was thinking I might put some synchro juice in there to help out perhaps. Know any good brands?
+BookandRegan my 04 WRX had issue with the synchros hanging up. Flushed with some red line lightweight shockproof and it helped a lot. Didn't have a noise though. Not sure if it would help in this situation.
Thats fair enough. What can be some causes for noise? Do certain parts start to wear and whine a little?
+BookandRegan as per the service manual: Noises emit from transmission - causes - (a) Insufficient or improper lubrication - (b) Worn or damaged gears and/or bearings. NOTE: If the trouble is only wear of the tooth surfaces, merely a high roaring noise will occur at high speeds, but if any part is broken, rhythmical knocking sound will be heard even at low speeds.
Hey mate i know my question has nothing to do with your video but i need help from a subaru expert the oil galley plug thats located under the intercooler i have a oil sensor installed and i want to remove it but I've lost the original plug would you know the item number for that? Ive looked on the net but everything i search does not have a flat surface ontop of the actual screw it has a hole in it to connect a sensor is that how its meant to look like because i think when i removed it it was a shape of a hex like an allen key thank you.
+Manuel Guerrero-Morales should be Subaru p/n 11024AA210
MrSubaru1387 thank you so much for your reply but that is still not the part im looking for. The part i need has a hex on the top like a 8mm Allen key head. 11024AA210 is for the front for the dummy light. Cheers though

What are u spraying for your clean up and wipe down?
Brake parts cleaner.
Here’s my question, CZcams isn’t allowing me to direct message you. So I’m coming to my CVT service interval , id like to change my oil , but Subaru says you need to reprogram the ecu . What does that involve and what scan tool do I need or is it just a flash to re learn the new oil parameters. Also my car is an 18’ crosstrek auto. I am having the dealer service my unit now, but for future when I grow old with my Subaru . Thanks!
There is no programing needed for a CVTF change.
Good to know for future . I’m not touching my CVT until my warranty is off, I just can’t wrap my head around how a fluid change is 379$
@@michaelanthony5335 fluid is $20/qt. Takes 9-12 qts for a full replacement.
So 9-12 qts replaced. Do you generally disconnect your coolant lines and flush that way to drain your torque converter or do you just pull your pan plugs and that’s it. You’ll have to excuse me, I’m a Subaru noob.
Okay so on the manual transmission the diff is sharing the same fluid with the gearbox
Yes
Can an overfilled transmission cause misfire?
Does this apply to the older 5 speeds? I have 93 legacy that I need to do this service with
Basically the same
if the oil hasn't been changed in a long time, would you still recommend changing it?
Yes
in the same boat, if the man say yes then i will,keep up the good work.
@@MrSubaru1387 I was told by a mechanic to not change it. He said the sludge is probably the only thing making it work. It’s not an automatic though. I don’t understand his logic.
@@vancepayne3471 don't listen to him anymore.
@@vancepayne3471 that's true for automatic transmission fluid.
Thank you for this video And the rest of them I have learned so much already. But quick question: I have a 2004 Subaru Forester X with a manual transmission. When i turn left or right after my car is warmed up it “bumps” in first or reverse (but only when I turn hard left or right) do you think changing the fluid will fix this problem? Hopefully I’m not stuck getting a new transmission. Thanks again for all your videos they have been far more help than I ever thought I’d find on CZcams 😊
Center differential is probably bad
@@owenchristianschubert8400 I just went to the mechanic and you are absolutely correct do you know if 1500 is a reasonable rate to charge for the job? That is including the center differential and viscous coupling
@@bossgirlzoey486 The part itself (center differential) is $500, so it would cost at least that much even if you did the job yourself. $1000 for labor seems reasonable. I had the same thing go wrong on my subaru, and I fixed it myself after watching a few vids and doing internet research. It actually wasn't that hard! If you feel confident you could give it a shot on your own
@@owenchristianschubert8400 thank you so much I don’t have a lift but may I ask if you had to remove part of the exhaust and pulled it without removing the entire transmission?
@@bossgirlzoey486 Yeah I took the exhaust off, but didn't have to remove the transmission at all
What is the manual trans fluid change interval?
3yr /36k miles
As much as I like Subaru I don’t know if I’ll buy another one. They surely make it hard for anyone to do maintenance or repairs as Subaru doesn’t put any manuals for the general public. I drive a 19’ and will likely be doing a diff and trans oil change next year will see how that goes given no information.
What other car company gives out open info the factory service manuals right now? No one, that's who. No manufacturer openly gives their service info and manuals out. They want you to pay them to perform this work, not let you do it yourself.
MrSubaru1387 I couldn’t even get them to sell me anything . It’s silly but i don’t let people wrong on my
Car
So the front diff and trans share same fluid?
On manual, yes. Auto, no.
Have you a video for the 6MT used in the SpecB, that has 2 X sump plugs
Unfortunately I do not. Sorry.
@@MrSubaru1387 no worries, I just wanted to ensure I was on the right track. 1 T70 nut and a 2nd drain plug also needs to be taken out.?
@@toffeepie1878 one should be for the diff. One should be for the transmission.
@@MrSubaru1387 do you know the torque for these? Or approximate!
On the plugs?
So for an 01 legacy is the trans drain plug and diff drain plug the same hex head size?
01 should still be a 22mm. Don't think they started using the T70 torx until mid 00s.
The manual only has one drain plug. The manual transmission gear oil and front diff gear oil are shared. They're only seperate in the automatic transmissions.
@@MrSubaru1387 yes I was referring to the rear diff drain plug, sorry.
@@MrDoomzy they're basically all 13mm pipe plugs. Some of the newer ones are a 10mm or 12mm hex
What if you dont ha e a torque wrench
1 finger, 2 finger
This is the long method. Whenever I do mine, I take off the fill plug and turn the car upside down to let it drain out, then just top it back off. No need for any fancy Torx bits or anything.
Is this the same for a 2014 sti?
+Gabriel Rivero basically.
I hate to maintain these subaru engines. Exhaust is always in the way and gets at least some oil. Every single time I end up with smell of burning oil for a week. Especially oil filter is troublesome on EJ20.
