Default Gearbox and Diff oils

I've done a search but can't seem to find the right info. I've got a 2010 Sti and want to change the gearbox and diff oils. I can get them from opei oils, but need the info on the best/correct ones.
Thanks in advance

What does it say in the back of your Owners Manual?

Attached are Subarus "recommended" materials for the MY10 WRXSTI

I have used Fuchs in various Impreza's over the years and quite often order from opie oils.

Im currently using Fuchs Titan race synchro 75-90 for the box and Fuchs Sintopoid LS 75-90 for the diff.

MY15 wrx sti.

Cheers, I was thinking of putting an upgrade of fluids if that's poss. On my old V7 Sti wagon I upgraded the gearbox oil as the gearchange was bulky. The change of fluid did it the world of good. I know I got it from opei oils, but cannot remember what it was for the life of me.

the ''best' 75w90 gear oil IMO is the Motul Gear300, we tend to use / supply this Millers, Royal Purple or Redline dependant on exact use / needs......
far more people than Opie actually stock oils and certainly deals are easier to get........
