Checked my gearbox oil last night - gone down from max to min in about 4 months.

No leaks are present as far as I can tell (gets parked on a concrete floor so anydrops would be really obvious) - anyone got any ideas where the oil is going and gb oil dosen't get consumed, as a rule, in the same way as engine oil...

Did you check it hot or cold.

Subaru only recommend checking when at normal operating temperature most most accurate results.

checked my gearbox oil recently, only to find its dry, like not a sign of any oil at all. But I have no idea where to fill it from, and what to put in it! The cars been running fine since July when I bought it though....... Maybe I'm ruining my gearbox everytime I drive it........
Please give me some help

fill it from where the dipstick comes out, i got a handy funnel with a flexy tube on the end which goes to a point, it works a treat

Thanks for the resposes - Sorry to say I'm gonna have to admit to being a dumbass here - was checking when warm but I think was misreading the dipstick - after adding .5 litres I notes the the level was about 10mm above high......

Gotta say though the G/B dipstick is VERY hard to read - have had to give mune a sort of brush finish at the end to give a better chance....

Put castrol sytrax 75W-90 in it. You will need about 3.5 litres.
Available from castrolclassicoils.com
It will make a big difference!
