Hi

You need a 75w-90 for the gearbox.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-...ion-fluid.aspx

If you want to go for the best, the Millers CRX 75w-90 NT, Gulf Competition, Motul Gear 300, Red Line 75w-90NS and Millers TRX are ideal. The Castrol Universal/Universal Plus, Motul Motylgear and Fuchs Gear Syn are all decent alternatives.

Cheers

Tim

All the prices are via the link above, but as an example, Gulf Syngear is £8.99 a litre for our cheapest synthetic, the Motul Gear 300 is £13.99 and that is one of the most popular top end ones for an Subaru.

Also, you get 10% off with the code SCOOBY

Cheers
