    I use motylgear 75w90 that you can buy from Subaru (it is expensive though) in tranny and diff. Haven't had any issues, shifted a lot easier when I changed to the motyl. I can't remember exactly the quantity, I know its 0.7L in the rear diff, and I think 3/4ish in the tranny?

    Welcome to the forums, we can probably at least give you general information. How about starting a new thread with your car details chassis, model name, engine etc...?

    Since this is a maintainance thread think I will post my query here. I need to change the MAF on my 2000 s/tb JDM. There are a couple of Mafs with numbers C36-700 R92 & C36-700 R82 printed on them. What is right for my car? Is there any difference between these two?

    Thanks

    There should be an actual part# from Subaru on the MAF itself.

    Based on the OEM Japanese Subaru Maintenance Note book, the type of oil they reccomend is;
    Subaru Motor oil, 4WD, 10W-30 API SF grade
    Subaru motor oil, SG, 10W-30 API SG grade
    Subaru motor oil, SH, 10W-30 API SH grade

    But probably anything that others have reccomended is fine.

    No one has said anything about running 10W-30 in their forester yet... Isn't the Rotella 0-40, that's quite a way off from the manual spec.
