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.

To change the rear differential oil on a Yamaha Grizzly 660, first ensure the ATV is on a level surface and secure it with a block. Remove the drain plug from the rear differential and allow the old oil to completely drain out. Replace the drain plug, then remove the fill plug and use a funnel to add the recommended differential oil until it reaches the fill hole. Finally, replace the fill plug and check for any leaks.
