So I was about to go out and fill my RX tranny up with gear oil and I hopped on here to see if I could find a right amount for the tranny without guessing which I HATE! I can't really find anything and there's kind of a amount in the USRM in a tranny fluid refill deal. I had an idea of why don't we have people with FSMs give out how much fluid something takes (ie cooling system, engine oil with and without filter change, tranny fluid both manual and automatic, rearends, etc.) We can then compile it into the USRM and would be useful to a lot of other people as well. So, how much gear oil does my 87.5 manual FT4wd d/r 5-speed RX tranny take?

My tranny in my wagon has a dipstick, doesnt yours?

 

Ya I know you still have to guess but once you start getting a reading on the dipstick you know to slow down your filling.

get 5 quaRTS OF gear oil just to be safe. it should hold 3.8 quarts I believe

the haynes book has fluid capacities, so should the subaru owner's manual. agreed a write up would be nice!
