2003 Outback H6 time for tranny flush but what fluid?

[dburton97128]

Manual calls for Dexron III, but since that is no more what is best to use?  I see so much conflicting and indeterminate information.  Subaru HP? Valvoline Maxlife? Dexron VI? Aisin T-IV? 

Has Subaru issued any kind of definitive recommendation?

Thanks.

Check out dextron IV - the description will no doubt tell you that it’s suitable for vehicles where dextron III is recommended/required.

You mean dexron VI?  IV & V apparently don't exist.  Most word is the VI is not the same as III and often doesn't work well in older trannys, even though the claims say it is backwards compatible.
