The tensions seem to be solid on all the belts i see. Ok i'll do a little more research on that then. I live in socal so it's always sunny, and we hardly get any rain down here so climate is usually dry. The belts are coming up on 2 and 1/2 years old now. So my car took another spoob on me and it won't turn on now. I go to turn the key and ignition starts as normal but once the engine starts to turn, i hear a semi grinding sound like if my bearing didn't want to turn. After about a second or two, it shuts itself down...

Dexron 3 ok got it. I use the same thing for back differential? No, the belts are rather new they got replaced at 95k.

I have a outback impreza with about 130K miles on it, and I would like some help with what brand or type of transmission fluid I should get? i have never done the transmission fluid change, so i decided to hop on this forum to find help from more knowledgeable people. Also I heard that if i am going to change the front that i should also change the fluid in the back differential, is that correct? My other problem I have noticing or hearing is screeching sounds from my belt(s). The first time i heard the screeching sound would be when i would turn on my ac in the car. Every time the ac is turned on, the screeching sound would be there for a few seconds and go away then some times it screeches as i would be driving. Any advice on either topic would be awesome! Thx!
