there's 2 filters on 4eat. one in pan, one screw on. The recommended service sched isn't terribly clear. When do I change them?
SUBARU says never. I call bullshit. Change the spin on filter with the FHI filter every 15k. Its like $38 or something. As for the internal screen, its the same service internal as your oil pump sump screen, NEVER.
No. Just do a trans flush with SUBARU ATF-HP every 30K and a filter change and call it a day. I did find something that meets the exact specs of ATF-HP: http://www.castrol.com/castrol/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9012226&contentId=7028224
...okay. changed the filter and did a quick drain and fill... ...then saw the big tear in the passenger side boot.
