Re: transimission fluid?
Genuine subaru atf or redline d4. Amsoil and royal purple have been failing their shear & shock tests, mcpherson, etc lately.
Any decent 80-90 is fine or 75-90. I prefer a good synthetic on the diff. |

Re: transimission fluid?
I have used nothing but Amsoil and Mobil 1 synthetic ATF and gear oil and have never had an issue in 15 years since I have been using them. All my subarus have run and shifted flawlessly. Nuff said

Apparently quantitative results mean nothing then?

Re: transimission fluid?
Mobil 1 is 100% independently verified that it meets all of the claims for flash and fire points, is readily available, moderately priced and is 100% compatable with whatever you have in there now.
I don't trust what a bottle says unless it mirrors independent lab results. When I rebuilt in 2000 I couldn't find any independent verification of the claims of Royal Purple, Amsoil or B&M so I went with the highest flash and fire points for ATF. As for dif fluid, I use castrol or mobil syth. gear oil.

Yep mobil 1 is good and with confident supporting data. I dig their oil.
