You're absolutely right about Subaru service, and the dearth of information. The manual tells you nothing except "bring it in for service." Useless. They don't even tell you how much oil you need.
Did you replace the crush washers on the front MT/Diff and on the rear diff? If so, what are the part numbers you used? I've had trouble tracking that info down. Great video!
No I didn't replace them. They were in really good shape. Very simple job. Subaru does a good job at making everything pretty accessible. With the exception of replacing the spark plugs.
Fantastic video! Thank you...👍 So just to confirm, the front differential and manual transmission share the same oil, correct? So one oil drain and fill takes care of both the front diff and transmission?
Is this the same for the previous generation? I believe you fill the manual trans from where the dipstick is on the passengers side underneath the intake tubing
@@viscious82 the video was an after thought. It was a very easy process so I wanted people to know they can do it without going to the dealership and pay a crap load of money.
@@ftwbeard1730 awesome thanks for the quick reply dude! I figured it was not oem specific. Some of these forums will tell you only to use Subaru oil only etc but I’m gonna do the valvoline like you did it’s all the same stuff

Thanks so much for this video!
Thanks for the info. I have a 2019 6MT and am close to 30,000 miles, so this is something I need to look into.
It's super easy..the dealership will try and charge you a fortune.
@@ftwbeard1730 Yeah, it's ridiculous. That's why if I can do it myself, I will. At least things like air filters and oil changes are easy.
@@voyager33mw the crosstrek is really easy to service. You can easily change the differentials yourself..I didnt even have to Jack it up.
If you ever make a second (update) video it would be nice to show the drain and fill locations on the vehicle
I agree...the video was an after thought. I thought it was gonna be a real pain in the ass.
You are awesome man !
Cool...cool..hopefully the info helped out.
Exact same set up on my 2017 Subaru Impreza. I was also having a tough time finding info !
@@nickcallahan2669 the impreza appears to be pretty much the same vehicle just sits lower.

Yep...you got it!
@@ftwbeard1730 Awesome, thanks! I look forward to any other Crosstrek videos you put up.👍
How any quarts for both Transmission&Front diff. And for the Rear diff?
Why do you need the 1/2" driver when you have a 1/2" Breaker?
Is this the same for the previous generation? I believe you fill the manual trans from where the dipstick is on the passengers side underneath the intake tubing
Yep...its the same..pretty easy.
Thanks for making an attempt at a video, but why didn't you record the actual procedure?

are there any torque specs for re-tightening the bolts?
Im sure there are but I do that stuff by feel. I just make sure its tight enough to not leak but not so tight I can't break it loose next time!
Did you replace the washer on each drain plug or was it not necessary
I did but it wasn't necessary. They are your typical crush washer that can be used more than once.
@@ftwbeard1730 awesome thanks for the quick reply dude! I figured it was not oem specific. Some of these forums will tell you only to use Subaru oil only etc but I’m gonna do the valvoline like you did it’s all the same stuff
@@Arrowslinger123 yeah..I use valvoline for everything. The only time I go brand specific is coolant or automatic trans fluid
Is there a filter that you need to change with it?
Nope..no filter.
How did you change clutch fluid?
The drain plug and then filled through dip stick.
@@ftwbeard1730 Does this clutch have a bleeder valve?
Thank you I was banging my head trying to figure out we’re the full hole was 😂😂I saw it but wasn’t sure
No problem!!
Most definitely not true about the Stealerships and information. My stealership gave me all the info i asked for.
