Subaru Forester transmission fluid changes are extremely necessary to keep your vehicle's transmission attentive and lubricated.

Subaru Forester Transmission Flush

A transmission flush is usually twice the value of a fluid change due to the payment of time the service takes and the fact that the flush not only replaces the fluid in the pan but also removes fluid from the cooler lines and diverse components of your transmission. A Subaru Forester transmission flush also uses about 10 quarts of fluid to completely clean and flush out the system.

How do you know if you need a Transmission Fluid Change or Transmission Flush?

A transmission flush is only imperative if your system contains dirt or debris. If the fluid is extremely dark or contains extra sediments, we would recommend a complete system flush instead of just exchanging the fluid. If you'd like one of our trained Subaru Forester technicians to examine your transmission fluid, book your transmission service online or give Mike Shaw Subaru a call at 7207249280.

Subaru Forester Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Automatic and manual transmission will often require assorted fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are commonly thinner and are often red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is thicker due to additives and back-up compounds important to lubricate the gearbox and back-up components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are replaced, thus the lubricant is assorted.

Not only are the fluids disparate between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is very disparate. Automatic transmissions generate a lot more heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more continuously. If you don't change your Subaru Forester transmission fluid, your transmission will have broken metal shavings and disparate corrosive material spread throughout the necessary parts of your Subaru Forester. You should continuously check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In frequent cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be highly rigid to do. Call or visit Mike Shaw Subaru for more information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
