want to change the gearbox oil and the rear diff oil in out 1997 UK spec impreza turbo

what size is the drain plug under the gearbox??

does the rear diff have a drain plug??

what type of oil to use in the gearbox, and how much (think its 3.5 liters)

what type of oil in the diff and how much (think its the same as the gearbox and its 1 liter?)

can i get the oil from somewhere like halfords, as i live on the isle of wight and that all we
have locally??


many thanks..

 

diff has two plugs, undo the top one first to make sure you can fill it back up before draining!

Castrol syntrax 75w90 for diff and gearbox

I want to change gearbox oil in my bug eye turbo 2002 as well.
I found that the best oil for Subaru Turbo is Shell Helix Racing Gear Oil 75W90.
But I can't find it, maybe you know where I can buy it.

thanks

 

sounds obvious but have you tried shell garage? they have the full range of shell oils in my local one

 

I was in one where I always fill my Scoob but they havn't and can't order it either. But maybe I should go to other garage and ask.

 

i have found the best way to fill up is via the dip stick found just under standard intercooler, turbo side. to drain gearbox there is a 22mm nut underneath gearbox.

subaru recomend shell oil aswell.

How much does gearbox and rear diff take on 02 sit 6 speed ?
