Hi guys and gals...here's an easy one for you... New owner having just bought a 95 wrx...had a look in the engine bay...and spotted a second dipstick just near to the rear of engine near the turbo.... duuuurrr ???? what is this for AND if fluid etc is low where would this need filling...(didn't want to check until know where and what to fill with !!!)

go on have a laugh !!! hehehheeee...nice easy one to answer..
cheers

 

Gearbox. If fluid's low you need to fill it up where the dipstick fits in (very awkward so most people use some sort of funnel/hose to reach the hole). Use 75w90 fully synthetic oil, Castrol Syntrax is one of the best.

 

You're getting good at this Jason...

 

lol

 

Smashin... I knew someone out there would be able to help...and also advised on what to pour in... will bravely have a look and top up if needed

happy scooooobeing !!!

 

if you look under the carpet in the boot you'll also see another wheel

 

lmao

 

If you find the sidelights will not turn off there is a small switch on the top of the steering column! Another newbie FAQ?

 

RTFM

 

You can top up the gearbox through the gearbox dip stick hole. Use transmission oil 75w-90. Check when hot. fill to the top mark or marginally over.
