Gearbox and rear dif oil for standard newage
Sorry if I am going over old ground here but all of the threads I have seen are either very old or for modified or different models.
What is currently the ideal oil to use for the gearbox and rear dif on a completely standard 2004 WRX.
The local Subaru dealers have quoted for TX Multigear R 75W-90, but I cannot find this anywhere and don't know if its decent stuff.
Thanks

If I have researched correctly I believe I am right in saying 3.5l for gearbox and 0.8 for rear dif? So 5l is plenty.

So you want 5l of motul gear 300 and 1 l of motul gear 300 LS.
The oil for the rear diff is different as it needs to be for an LSD

Thanks for letting me know, my first time replacing rear dif fluid.
And down again... Thanks for the info. A 10% discount sounds good to me, I have used Opie previously with the club discount for engine oil and filter.

Apologies for what could be seen as hijacking a thread. I replaced both the gearbox and rear diff oil with Motul Gear 300 75W90. I did not differentiate between the gearbox and DCCD rear diff - Its a 2006 hawkeye. Is this ok??????!!!

The rear diff on the 2005-2006 sti models with dccd requires the LS version, i THINK the 2006-2007 has a torsen type diff which does not require the added friction modifiers. If in doubt I would check which diff type you have or just buy a litre of the ls version and replace it for peace of mind.

Thanks all, I will be ordering 5 litres of Motul today.
And feel free to hijack away, the more information we can get in one place the better.
