Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Changed the rear and front differetial fluids. I've had the car for 11 years and that was my first time changing those fluids (rear differential is original AFAIK, tranny is rebuilt). The front differential plug was full of metal shavings sludge.

It didn't make a noticeable difference in driving, but it did give me piece of mind. I'll be sure to do it more regularly now. The front differntial plug requires a 21mm socket. Used three quarts of Valvoline differential fluid 75/90 - (2 qts for the front; 1 qt for the rear) The rear differential plugs were a PIA, but with a break bar i was finally able to get the job done.
