Hi all,
as you can probably guess im new round here and also on the scout for some info. A mate recommended me here but im not sure if he said if he was a member so im off to a great start I think lol!

-anyway I hope you can shed a little light on something for me, I'm a new owner of a classic Turbo 2000 and ive been looking round the engine and found a dip stick that seem to go into what I would assume is the LSD? The dip stick is situated right near the turbo and is shorter than the engine oil stick, i don't have an owners manual to tell me what it is but more importantly what oil it is and were I need to fill it up as its just on the top of the low marker.

Also im a bit stuck for a Haynes manual as they don't seem to do one for the impreza could anyone give me an idea of a good book that is similar to one, or if anyone might have a spare owners manual lol...

Thanks all

 

hi there ruskyv by the sounds of it it is the gearbox oil dip stik

 

it's the gearbox dip stick

 

yes mate that is the gearbox dipstick, if you are gonna top up i suggest you do it via the dipstick tube as its a pain doing it from underneath. Either use a piece of garden hose or a magazine cover and roll it up so that it acts as a funnel and allows you to pour the oild own through to the tube.

 

I also suggest that you use Castrol syntrax 75-90

 

Awesome thanks for the info lads! any ideas what sort and weight oil I need to put in it?

 

Posted at the same time thanks for the oil info mate

 

Went with that oil you suggested mate it even had a little extended funnel to make things easy

cheers.
