What ^ they said above. I think if you open the top (fill) plug, you should be able to stick a finger in and feel the fluid level. BTW if you go off on a tangent and ever venture into the (why not) diff fluid drain/replace, make sure you can free the fill port BEFORE you drain from the bottom plug. From the hard knock school of "The greatest enemy of good enough is better".

https://www.subarubatterysettlement.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnA_zN6IACc I already had SOA replace a rear gate sensor on our 2019 that was reported to create a constant drain, especially if the gate was left open. There's more and more "features" of readiness that can result in drain on battery aside from speculation that the batteries are undersized as the youtube video above suggests. I am really old school and recall as a kid that we would turn the TV on a few minutes before watching to give it a chance to warm up, Enuf said, now get off my lawn 😉

Anyone have brand recommendation for aftermarket rear gate lift support (pistons) for 08 OB. Many reference poor fitment, requiring metallurgical skills of a wizard to get them fit. Rock Auto gets trashed for general customer service so I am looking to buy local. Noticed a little weak the other day but today the gate is dead weight and one piston is oozing. Using a 2x4 for support for now.

Did you really mean -30 Celsius?? Having spent the longest month one weekend in Lake Placid, NY where the overnight temps hovered around -30 Fahrenheit, I feel your pain. In the morning, the alternator screeched like a banshee in heat and the turn of the key elicited a "no-no-no-no" from the engine. Can't imagine that the heavier weight oils wouldn't be congealed at your -30 C temps?
