It depends on if you have a manual or an automatic transmission. aut is 3and a half quarts of Subaru automatic Transmission Fluid, a manual is about a gallon of 80W-90 gear lube
What is the transmission fluid capacity on a 2001 subaru forester?
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.
For a 2006 Subaru Forester, you should use Subaru's own ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) or an equivalent high-quality fluid that meets the specifications for Subaru's automatic transmissions. Typically, this would be Subaru's ATF-HP or a compatible fluid that meets the JASO 1A standard. Always check your owner's manual for specific recommendations and ensure the fluid is suitable for your transmission type.

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.
A 2009 Subaru Forester typically requires about 9.8 quarts of transmission fluid for a complete fluid change, including the torque converter. If you're only draining and replacing the fluid in the transmission pan, you may need around 5-6 quarts. Always consult the owner's manual or a professional for the most accurate information for your specific vehicle.

I want to check the level of atf temp in my subaru forester 2010. On checking the transmission fluid level, after the car was driven about 10 km and was put in each gear and setting the select level in the "p", do i have to turn off the engine or idle the engine before i check the atf level?
Just like changing engine oil only in a different location and with different oil.
Assuming that yours is the same as my 2000, and assuming that you are asking because you want to remove the drain plug, recycle whatever comes out, and refill with fresh fluid, the refill is about a gallon. This operation is recommended yearly to extend transmission life.
I believe that your 2006 is similar to my 2000 and 1996 models. When you drain the fluid via the drain plug on the driver's side of the transmission, refill is about 4 quarts. This is not the same as the total capacity of the transmission because you cannot drain the torque converter this way. Changing the fluid every year is the best way to extend the life of your transmission.
Of course not. To paraphease the old saying, the only thing you must do is pay taxes and die. --Ken
