When to change manual tranny oil

Featured Replies

I was just looking at my records and the last time I changed the tranny fluid on my subie was about 20K ago. When I changed it last I used Redline 75W-90NS. Its an 84 wagon 4wd with the 4spd, what do you guys think? Leave it in or change it out?

Mine went about 20 years without changing....:rolleyes:

'83 FSM says 30,000 miles for replacement. That's with a conventional gear oil tho. Redline is a synthetic and should be good well beyond the 30,000mi mark let alone 20,000mi. I'd leave it in.
