To check the Transmission Fluid on a 2001 Subaru Outback, start by warming up the engine and letting it run for a few minutes. With the engine still running, locate the transmission dipstick, usually found near the back of the engine bay. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then remove it again to check the fluid level, ensuring it falls within the marked range. If necessary, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube.
