Watching this makes me miss my 2021 STI Lapis Blue Pearl with lip spoiler.Drove it for 11,000 miles than sold it for $6500 more than what i ordered it/bought it for brand new which was $40,700 or invoice on mine.
@@stoveguy2133 NO TAX. in my state it is paid directly still with the DMV. 40,700 was my out the door price filled up ready to go. I think i also did the rubber floor mats and maybe an led kit and rearview mirror dimmer. I do not fully recall but it was a good buy as it was a Limited
Great video. I am thinking about buying a used 2014 STI with a manual transmission. Thi video came just in time. I know the service history and I'll be replacing all fluids to get it on the intervals I am going to use. I own a 2012 Impreza and love it. Thank you for your time and diligence in making these videos.
I have a 2022 Crosstrek, with the 6speed manual and I am looking to do the same service. In the manual it is calling for Subaru’s “Extra MT” gear oil. I noticed you used the more typical “high performance” gear oil. Is there any difference between these products? The “Extra MT” gear oil is only sold in 5 gallon quantities so I’m really hoping to not have to buy that lol. Thanks for your help! Love the white STI videos
I just replaced my gear oil in my manual Forester and ran into the same problem. It was over $500 just for the transmission oil. I thought it was going to be easier to just have the dealership do it and they wanted to charge me over $600 for changing the fluid. I ended up using Motul Motylgear 75w80. It has the same fluid classification as the extra MT oil, and Motul is a great oil brand. No problems with it at all, and it cost me only the price of the oil and long enough funnel to reach the dipstick/fill port.
@@TheMr.Logan9 I used Motul as well. If the OE oil was sold in quart bottles I'd have used that but a 5 gallons bucket of the stuff is ridiculous. Motul worked just fine.
I used to have a 2020 WRX, there is a short dipstick on the RH side of the transmission, but not on the top like the STI transmission. SubiSpeed did a short video on a transmission fluid service showing where it is.
anyone with an older subie where they don’t know the history of the gear oils, go ahead and get this done. I bought my 06 STI and had this done by the dealership and the gearbox and diff got NOTICEABLY quieter.
Hey Mr Subaru - thank you for all your great content. Seriously amazing stuff. I have a new to me 2012 Impreza 5 speed. Can you please recommend a gear oil for the front differential and MT. Seems to be so many different opinions - GL-4 or GL-5 or GL-5 without LS additives. Thanks for clarifying
Can you do a video on replacing the turbo oil drain hose? The black rubber one that sits at the bottom of the turbo. Unless you already have one? I need to do mine soon lol
When the car is suspended and the suspension is off load maybe the check up fill for rear differential it's not perfect accurate? I'm just thinking.....
Any advice for when the clutch housing drain plug (T70) won't budge on a 2007 STI? I haven't tried heat yet but neither an impact wrench nor 2' breaker bar had any luck.
I have a 2015 STI Launch Edition with a DTC B2285 (STEERING LOCK POSITION SIGNAL CORRELATION/ABNORMAL) and I am unable to find any information online. My car won't crank. Any advice Mr. Subaru?
I think a moment should've been taken to note that the Manual Transmission should NOT use regularly available gear oil. The rear diff should handle it fine, but the Manual Transmission requires a different spec oil than what is available at most auto part stores.
@@tjlovesrachel Yes, that is actually the cause of the "issue." The rear diff can handle LS additive. The transmission can't. It is not compatible with the synchronizers. The "gearbox" portion needs GL4 with no LS, the hypoid gears in the "differential" portions need GL5. Since they are all combined into one sump in a Subaru MT, you need a "non-standard" oil that is not available at most retail stores. Retail stores carry oil GL4 with no LS or GL5 w LS. They normally don't have a GL5 with no LS additive. Also, the Subaru rear diff oil is Gear Oil SOA427V1800 or 1700, but the Trans oil is "Extra MT" SOA748V0100 "uniquely formulated for Subaru Manual Transmissions."
hmmm, i prefer to pump it in, electric pump, and i just lay and watch, it's easier imo.....unless if you're using a hand pump then i guess it may be easier to do the fill from the top..
The car is already up in the air. Idk why you decided to remove the intercooler to access a top fill plug when it's already on the bottom. Too much extra work but if it floats your boat!
He said from the top he could just pour the fluid into the funnel, if he used the side port he would have to use a syringe and dribble a lot of fluid in like the rear diff, would have taken ages 😉
@@ecopennylifeI knocked out the trans fluid change on my sti today. Car only has 10k miles and the oem fluid was disgusting. I used a 7 dollar fluid transfer pump from harbor freight. Filling the trans from under the car took 8 minutes if that.
I have a 1997 Subaru legacy outback, and the lights started flickering inside and the car started losing power, then died, now I can’t start it up. What could that be?
@@ecopennylife Thanks - I've tried various places but what initially seems a flat surface is, when you stand back and look relative to the ground often at a slight angle. I just wondered if there was a specific place that was used. Thank for your help :)
Yes…one is for the lowest point on the front diff…and the other is the lowest point on the tranny…but they share the same oil inside…so filling one is actually filling both hope that helps
is it advisable to do a trans fluid service with the fluid warm like an oil change? Just not sure about the draining of metal/contaminants on cold vs. warm
That’s totally lame. I still thought they had a dipstick my 2013 legacy 3.6 R still has a dipstick for the differential and it makes it so easy for a drain and fill……
Its wild that it took this long to get such a simple and informative video on how to perform these services. Good job MrSubaru1387.
Very clean fluids, but always great to know they're been serviced recently and fresh! Awesome work!

I always change all the fluids, driver seat and steering wheel in every used car I buy.
I liked CRC Sure Shot!!! very good ,I don't think that in Brazil. The rear differential oil was dirty!!! tanks

Love your videos bro! She has definitely came out really nice!!! Proud of your hard work
The little soo-bar-oooo. Wow
Of course this vid comes out a few days after I did the trans fluid service on my 2020 STI.
Pumping wasn't too bad, though
For the dream shop!
Omg!!!! Thank you soooo much!!!
You did get into a good car. 👍
All STi 6 speeds have the 2 drain bolts. I usually pull the pan and clean it out.
You must do a well overdue update on your fleet of other Subaru's!
Hey Mister, I have a chance to get a '69 Subaru van. Would that be insane or do you think I can get parts?
Are these ports in the same place on the regular WRX 6-speed? Also, is there a way to put in a dipstick on the 6-speed? Thanks for doing this!
Similarly placed. I don’t think the WRX TY75 had any dipstick provisions. The STi TY85 used to in the past, as shown by the block off plug.
I used to have a 2020 WRX, there is a short dipstick on the RH side of the transmission, but not on the top like the STI transmission. SubiSpeed did a short video on a transmission fluid service showing where it is.
@@MrSubaru1387 SUBIE AUTO PARTS CNC BILLET TRANSMISSION dip sticks. 😂. Thanks me later
anyone with an older subie where they don’t know the history of the gear oils, go ahead and get this done. I bought my 06 STI and had this done by the dealership and the gearbox and diff got NOTICEABLY quieter.
great job, thanks for the videos, keep them coming.
At least you know for sure that your tranny and diff has fresh gear oil.
I miss the manual transmissions on the Foresters.
I'm hanging on to my 6 speed MT 2013 Forester turbo diesel 😉
Sweet
Honestly pumping 4 quarts of fluid under the car is easier than wresting the TMIC back on

Great video and very informative.
2 drains never seen that b4.
Just did this today on my friends 2019 sti, I made 200 dollars and she made me dinner.
2021 wrx (non sti) has a short transmission dipstick where your plug is , wonder what the difference was
Hey Mr Subaru! Do you have any vids on a diff fluid change on the5th Gen outback? Is it the same process? Keep the subie content coming!
Any advice for when the clutch housing drain plug (T70) won't budge on a 2007 STI? I haven't tried heat yet but neither an impact wrench nor 2' breaker bar had any luck.
Which model Mityvac was that? That looks like a good size to use when working under a car.
I have a 2015 STI Launch Edition with a DTC B2285 (STEERING LOCK POSITION SIGNAL CORRELATION/ABNORMAL) and I am unable to find any information online. My car won't crank. Any advice Mr. Subaru?
Thanks.
Kinda off topic but while i was looking at your rear diff.. Is the diff carrier supposed to make contact with the rear differential? Thank you
WRX not STI

Redline makes a GL5 with no LS, and there might be some others, but "normal" gear oils at AutoZone (or similar) are the wrong answer for a Subaru MT.
hmmm, i prefer to pump it in, electric pump, and i just lay and watch, it's easier imo.....unless if you're using a hand pump then i guess it may be easier to do the fill from the top..
Don’t you want to pour a small cement slab to put the car on so you don’t have to lay in the dirt?
I want to build my 60x100 dream shop. Just can’t afford to build it at the moment.
How often this service should be done?
On cvt auto the front diff its not the same as cvt fluid right? Like front diff its separate oil from cvt

How’s your alternator? Does it crank? Can you hook jumpers up to it ?
Where / what do you measure to check the car is level? Thanks
Use a sprit level or phone with spirit level app on a flat surface like the floor 😊
@@ecopennylife Thanks - I've tried various places but what initially seems a flat surface is, when you stand back and look relative to the ground often at a slight angle. I just wondered if there was a specific place that was used. Thank for your help :)
So you drain from two places but fill into one only?
Yes…one is for the lowest point on the front diff…and the other is the lowest point on the tranny…but they share the same oil inside…so filling one is actually filling both hope that helps
"Draining it used to be super easy." Then a new engineer said, "Hey, I have an idea ..............."
The best thing about having established industry standards is that there are so many to choose from.
@@aland7236 😂
You got me fucked up if you think removing the intercooler is easier than just pumping the fluid into the side port
is it advisable to do a trans fluid service with the fluid warm like an oil change? Just not sure about the draining of metal/contaminants on cold vs. warm
Common sense. Before your service go fo a drive to warm the transmission. The warm oil will drain faster. Be careful of the hot exhaust.
If there is metal, it should be stuck to the magnetic drain plugs.
That’s totally lame. I still thought they had a dipstick my 2013 legacy 3.6 R still has a dipstick for the differential and it makes it so easy for a drain and fill……
They took the stick away… but left the hole 😂.
