Car Forum / Subaru Cars / May 2006Transmission oil change on 2005 Outback
I'm in the process of converting all the fluids in my wife 200 Outback(w/4 cyl. engine and auto trans.) to Amsoil synthetic. I'v already done the oil, will do the differentials, which won't be problem but my question is about the transmission. I realize I'll nee a filter and gasket but I believe in research before I undertake th job. Has anyone out there done the change? Anything specific to watc out for?

If you plan to stay in warrantee, you will use a proper fluid. > I'm in the process of converting all the fluids in my wife 2005 > Outback(w/4 cyl. engine and auto trans.) to Amsoil synthetic.

While you do have to think about your warranty, changing the oil in the tranny isn't an easy DIY job. You can do it a pan at a time, over time, as some here have suggested, or you can take it to a shop that has a power flusher or changer or whatever you call it. This flushes out all the old oil so it can be replaced with new stuff at one time. The filter is "permanent" type and screws on. There is a drain plug I think. |
