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.
5 quarts
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
4..5 QUARTS
Dexron III. It will take around 4 quarts if you drain using the drain plug on the transmission driver's (left) side.
My 2008 XT manual says 4.2 quarts.
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
Engine oil capacity for the 2.5 liter is around 5 quarts. A little more when you change the filter, but 5 quarts will do. But then you'll find that out the first time that you change the oil.
mine holds 2.5 quarts so that is my answer.
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.
You didn't specify automatic or manual transmission Forester. I can only answer for the automatic. Drain plug is on the left (driver's side) of the transmission. You will need about 4, maybe 5 quarts of Dexron for refill. This is for a maintenance oil change, not if you are trying to cure some problem since you cannot drain the torque converter in this way. Yearly performance of this service is recommended. Since you are asking in this forum, it may be best to take your Forester to a professional to perform this service. --Ken
11.2 quarts
For an automatic transmission, a drain using the plug in the left side of the transmission pan takes around 4 quarts to refill. It is recommended that you do this at least once a year. Dexron III is what you buy at the store. --Ken
