Replying to: paisan (Aug 07, 2007 7:50 pm)  Upon inquiry, I was told that the automatic transmission filter and the differential (front/rear) fluid are all "non-serviceable". I guess that means its not to be changed unless something is the matter(and too late?). I plan to buy the tune-up kit from subaruparts.com (sp-plugs, air-oil-fuel filters) and PCV valve, and go to someone nearby, that has worked on Subies. The website mentions that the PCV valve needs to be changed only if needed. So, unlikely, I'm going to go to the dealer to do stuff I don't need. Any further thoughts?

Replying to: brainlessbozo (Aug 09, 2007 5:37 am) Remove it, and it should let air travel in one direction, but not the other. It either works or it doesn't, pass/fail style. If it's clean at 30k, you should be fine, but I'd change it at 60k regardless. I'm with mike on the diff fluid intervals. My Miata, at just 30k miles, had what looked like melted chocolate in there when I drained it. It was nasty, clowdy and brown. It was 8 years old, so I'm sure it was age. My Forester wasn't that bad at 60k miles, but it was a lot less than 8 years at the time. Don't wait 8 years, no matter the mileage. |

Replying to: paisan (Aug 08, 2007 8:40 pm) I think my Haynes book, while it did outline the procedure for removing the filter, never indicated that it should be replaced on a regular interval. I changed the fluid in the car several times, but I never replaced the filter. 220K miles, no problems with the transmission.
