Subarus have very touchy syncros. Subaru has a proprietary synthetic transmission oil that they use called Extra-S. It makes a noticeable difference in performance when used compared to other fluids. Last year, I went to the dealer with a 1 gallon empty jug and had them fill it up with Extra S for $8.23/quart. That's value, that's customer service, and that's the way it should be. That's why I comment and that's why you guys who mindlessly go along with what some false authority tells you are messing it up for everyone.
