It can and will change color as it picks up dirt and mixes with the older fluid that you didn't get out (about 1/2). If it smells okay you're probably okay BUT changing it more isn't gonna hurt and it is easy as changing oil to do (actually easier if you ask me as you don't need to get at the filter. Are you sure you don't have an external filter put on by Subaru? If you do you can always change it (expensive) or get an aftermarket one. What kind of fluid do you use? I recommend Mobil 1 as unlike Purple and Redline its flash and burn temp claims have been verified by indie labs plus it is fine to mix with non synthentics. Sure it is $4-5 a quart but $60 a year is a lot cheaper than $2500 every 3-5. Just curious have you thought about a tranny temp gauge? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
