Transmission Fluid is added through the dipstick tube. The dipstick tube is located close to the firewall at the back of the engine on the driver's side. The dipstick handle is yellow and you may have to move some hoses around to see it. To add fluid you will want to use a long funnel, available at the auto parts store or Wal-Mart. Although it is possible to get the fluid in without the funnel, it is much easier with. --Ken

Yes, it is definitely good to use transmission fluid in your Forester. I highly recommend it and use it in my 2000 with no problems.
The recommended automatic transmission fluid for a 2000 Subaru Outback Legacy is Subaru ATF HP. This is a proprietary fluid which is sold by local dealerships.

This question has been asked before. The answer depends on why you are asking. Draining fluid with the drain plug, refilling will take about 4 quarts. You should do this at least yearly to get long life from your transmission. Good luck! --Ken
I need Dexron III in my Subaru Forester, but I don't need any right now, thanks. Your owner's manual will tell you what to use in yours.
