Automatic Transmission Fluid
2. Automatic Transmission Flu-
id
A: INSPECTION
NOTE:
The level of ATF varies with fluid temperature. Pay
attention to the ATF temperature when checking
ATF level.
1) Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance
of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the en-
gine to raise ATF temperature to 70 — 80°C (158
— 176°F) on Subaru Select Monitor. 4AT(H4SO)-18, READ CURRENT DATA, OPERA-
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
2) Make sure the vehicle is level.
3) After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1),
set the select lever in “P” range. Measure the ATF
level with engine idling for one or two minutes.
4) Make sure that ATF level is above the center of
upper level and lower level at HOT side.
If the ATF level is below the lower level, check for
leaks in the transmission. If there are leaks, it is
necessary to repair or replace gasket, oil seals,
plugs or other parts.
5) If the ATF level is below the center between up-
per level and lower level, add the recommended
ATF until the fluid level is found above the center
between upper level and lower level marks.
CAUTION:
 Use care not to exceed the upper level.
 Remember that the addition of ATF to the up-
per limit mark when the transmission is cold
will overfilling of ATF, causing a transmission
failure.
6) Check ATF level after raising ATF temperature
to 70 — 80°C (158 — 176°F) by running the vehicle
or by idling the engine again.
B: REPLACEMENT
1) Lift-up the vehicle.2) Drain the ATF completely.
CAUTION:
Directly after the engine has been running, the
ATF is hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
3) Replace the gasket with new one, and then tight-
en the drain plug (ATF).
Tightening torque:
25 N
⋅m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.1 ft-lb)
4) Lower the vehicle.
5) Pour ATF from the ATF charge pipe.
Recommended fluid:
DEXRON III type automatic transmission flu-
id
Capacity:
Fill the same amount of ATF drained from
drain plug hole.

HAULED:

Differential Gear Oil
3. Differential Gear Oil
A: INSPECTION
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2) Remove the oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
3) Reinsert the level gauge all the way. Be sure that
the level gauge is correctly inserted and in the
proper orientation.
4) Remove the oil level gauge again, and check the
level. If the differential gear oil level is below the “L”
line, add oil to bring the level up to the “F” line.
5) To prevent overfilling the differential gear oil, do
not add oil above the “F” line.
B: REPLACEMENT
1) Lift-up the vehicle.
2) Remove the differential gear oil drain plug using
TORX
® BIT T70, and drain the differential gear oil
completely.
CAUTION:
 Directly after driving the vehicle, the differen-
tial gear oil is hot. Be careful not to burn your-
self.
 Be careful not to spill the differential gear oil
on exhaust pipe to prevent it from emitting
smoke or fire. When the differential gear oil is
spilled on exhaust pipe, wipe it away complete-
ly.3) Replace the gasket with new ones, and then
tighten the differential gear oil drain plug using
TORX
® BIT T70.
Tightening torque:
44 N
⋅m (4.5 kgf-m, 32.5 ft-lb)
4) Lower the vehicle.
5) Pour differential gear oil into the differential from
gauge hole.
Recommended gear oil:
Use GL-5 (SAE: 75 W-90) or equivalent.
Differential gear oil capacity:
1.1 — 1.32 (1.2 — 1.4 US qt, 1.0 — 1.1 Imp qt)
6) Check the level of the differential gear oil.
