Since the pump uses the fluid for lubrication and cooling, running without fluid will quickly wear and destroy the pump. However, when it runs low you will notice the steering getting tight right away and probably caught it in time to keep from doing any real damage. But you do need to get the problem fixed before it drains down again. It is likely that you will just need a new hose. Any garage can do this for you.
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.

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.
To check the brake fluid level on a 99 Subaru Forester, you need to open the hood and locate the brake fluid reservoir. This is located on the master cylinder. There will either be a dipstick in the reservoir, or a line embossed on the side that says 'full.' If needed, add DOT 3 brake fluid.

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.
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?
Assuming that your 2001 is the same as my 2000, the pump is atached at the bottom of the fluid reservoir. It does not need to be primed. --Ken
Just like changing engine oil only in a different location and with different oil.
