For optimum transmission performance, only use the automatic transmission fluid that is recommended and provided by SUBARU.
If the recommended automatic transmission fluid is unavailable, Dexron III may be temporarily used. If the Dexron III is used continuously there will be a noticeable increase in the vibration and noise from the automatic transmission.
