I haven't seen this particular vehicle but there is a drain plug on all Subaru automatics. Transmission has a flat pan with a drain plug on the driver's side under the car just about as far back as the driver's feet. Just like changing engine oil, you pull the plug and drain everything that runs out, should be around 4 quarts. Refill with fresh Dexron III and recycle the old fluid. Buy one of those funnels with a hose on it when you buy the transmission fluid. This doesn't change all of the Transmission Fluid, but it is enough to put in some fresh seal conditioners and remove some of the fine particles caused by wear. Dipstick/filler is back near the firewall in the engine compartment on the driver's side and it is down low under some hoses. Yellow handle. Be careful to not overfill and change fluid every year for longest transmission life.
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.
30,000 miles
Just like changing engine oil only in a different location and with different oil.
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.
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
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.
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?
Of course not. To paraphease the old saying, the only thing you must do is pay taxes and die. --Ken
There is no mileage where one "has" to change the transmission fluid or filter. It is your car and you can do with it as you wish. The warranty manual for my 2000 Forester recommends changing the fluid every 15,000 miles when used under severe conditions. I recommend changing ATF yearly and you shouldn't need to change the filter unless it has been damaged. It is as easy as changing the engine oil, so why not do a little preventive maintenance? --Ken
To check the transmission fluid in a 2014 Subaru Forester, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is running at normal operating temperature. With the engine running, locate the transmission dipstick, typically found near the back of the engine bay. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then remove it again to check the fluid level; it should be within the marked range. If necessary, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid as specified in the owner's manual.
