Subaru's can be sensitive to what you use in your tranny and diff. I have had very good luck with Amsoil GL5 75w-90 or Subaru's own brand of diff oil. Of course the Amsoil is much easier to get ahold of. They are about the same price. In my 86 GL Wagon, (which I still drive daily) I was experiencing sluggish shifts and lousy cold weather operation. I changed the oil in the transmission to Amsoil GL4 75w-90 and GL5 75w-90 in the differential. Instant improvement. I have also heard that Mobile 1 is also a good choice but have never tried it.
