75w-90 Gear oil

Some good ones for a Subaru there. The Syntrax is always popular with Subarus and cheap at the moment, but the Millers CRX NT, Silkolene Syn 5 and Motul Gear 300 are higher spec oils.

For the diff, either use the Syn 5 or BOA90LS

Silkolene Gear Oil, Silkolene Final Drive Oil, Silkolene ATF & MTFs
