Automatic Transmission Fluid
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2. Automatic Transmission Fluid
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. 5AT(diag)-15, READ CURRENT DATA, OPERA-
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
2) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3) After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D), set the
select lever in “P” range. Idle the engine for 1 or 2
minutes, and measure the ATF level.
4) Make sure that the ATF level is between upper
and lower marks of the HOT side.
5) If the ATF level is below the lower mark, add rec-
ommended ATF until the fluid level is between up-
per and lower marks.
CAUTION:
•Be careful not to exceed the upper level.
•When the transmission is cold, be careful not
to add ATF to the upper level on HOT side.
Overfilling of ATF may cause oil splashing.
6) 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. 5AT(diag)-15, READ CURRENT DATA, OPERA-
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
7) Check the ATF for leaks.
Visually check for leaks in the transmission. If there
are leaks, replace the gasket, oil seal, plug or other
parts.
B: REPLACEMENT
1) Lift-up the vehicle.
2) Remove the ATF drain plug to drain ATF.
CAUTION:
Directly after the vehicle has been running or
the engine has been long idle running, the ATF
is hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
3) Check the condition of ATF.

4) Tighten the ATF drain plug.
NOTE:
Use a new gasket.
Tightening torque:
20 N·m (2.0 kgf-m, 14.8 ft-lb)
5) Lower the vehicle.
6) Pour ATF from the oil charge pipe.
Specified fluid:
SUBARU ATF (Part No. K0140Y0700)
Recommended fluid:
IDEMITSU ATF HP
CASTROL TRANSMAX J
PENNZOIL QUAKERSTATE • PENNZOIL ATF-
J
NOTE:
Use of the recommended fluid is permitted only in
regions where the specified fluid is not available.
Capacity:
Fill with the same amount of ATF as drained.
Capacity when transmission is overhauled:
9.6 — 10.0 2 ( 1 0 . 1 — 1 0 . 6 U S q t , 8 . 4 — 8 . 8 I m p
qt)
7) Check the level and leaks of ATF.

C: CONDITION CHECK
NOTE:
When replacing ATF, check the inside condition of transmission body by inspecting the drained ATF.
Fluid condition Trouble and possible cause Corrective action
Large amount of metallic pieces are
found.
Internal metal parts of transmission body are
excessively wor n.
Replace ATF and check if AT operates
correctly.
Is thick and is a varnish-form fluid. Clutch etc. is burned.Replace ATF and check the AT body or
vehicle for faulty.
Clouded fluid or bubbles are found in
fluid.Water is mixed.Replace ATF and check the water enter-
ing point.

Differential Gear Oil
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
3. Differential Gear Oil
A: INSPECTION
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2) Remove the collector cover.
3) Remove the oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
4) Reinsert the level gauge all the way. Make sure
the level gauge is inserted correctly and in the
proper orientation.
5) Remove the oil level gauge again, and check the
level of differential gear oil. If the differential gear oil
level is below “L” line, add oil to bring the level up to
“F” line.
NOTE:
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 then drain differential gear
oil.
CAUTION:
•Immediately after the vehicle has been run-
ning or after idling for a long time, the differen-
tial gear oil will be hot. Be careful not to burn
yourself.
•Be careful not to spill differential gear oil on
the exhaust pipe to prevent it from emitting
smoke or causing a fire. If differential gear oil is
spilled on the exhaust pipe, wipe it off com-
pletely.
3) Tighten the differential gear oil drain plug using
TORX® BIT T70.
NOTE:
Use a new gasket.
Tightening torque:
70 N·m (7.1 kgf-m, 51.6 ft-lb)
4) Lower the vehicle.
5) Pour gear oil into the gauge hole.
Recommended gear oil:

Gear oil capacity:
1.3 — 1.5 2 ( 1 . 4 — 1 . 6 U S q t , 1 . 1 — 1 . 3 I m p q t )
6) Check the level of differential gear oil.

Road Test
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
4. Road Test
A: INSPECTION
1. GENERAL PRECAUTION
Road tests should be conducted to properly diag-
nose the condition of automatic transmission.
NOTE:
When performing the test, do not exceed posted
speed limit.
2. D RANGE SHIFT FUNCTION
Check shifting between 1st ←→ 2nd ←→ 3rd ←→
4th ←→ 5th while driving on normal city streets.
3. D RANGE SHIFT SHOCK
Check the shock level when shifting up during nor-
mal driving.
4. KICK–DOWN FUNCTION
Check kick–down for each gear. Check the shock
level during kick–down at the same time.
5. ENGINE BRAKE OPERATION
•Check the 4th gear engine brake when shifting
down from 5th to 4th range while driving in 5th gear
of manual mode [50 to 60 km/h (31 to 37 MPH)].
•Check the 3rd gear engine brake when shifting
down from 4th to 3rd range while driving in 4th gear
of manual mode [50 — 60 km/h (31 — 37 MPH)].
•Check the 2nd gear engine brake when shifting
down from 3rd to 2nd range while driving in 3rd
gear of manual mode [40 — 50 km/h (25 — 31
MPH)].
•Check the 1st gear engine brake when shifting
down from 2nd to 1st range while driving in 2nd
gear of manual mode [20 — 30 km/h (12 — 19
MPH)].
6. P RANGE OPERATION
Stop the vehicle on an uphill grade of 5% or more
and shift to the “P” range. Check that the vehicle
does not move when the parking brake is released.
7. NOISE AND VIBRATION
Check for noise and vibration while driving and dur-
ing shifting.
8. OIL LEAKAGE
After the driving test, inspect for oil leaks from the
transmission body.
