Hi guys must have been aksed loads of times but i did a search and im not sure if working or im doing it correct


How much gearbox oil is needed from empty? which kind

Also same for collant how much is needed from empty?


thanks in advance

 

can someone at least post a little help

thanks

 

IIRC it is 4 litres for the gearbox and 7 litres of coolant (i think)

 

Looking this up myself. And I am going for the following

Engine Oil 4.5Litre
Silkolene Pro S Ester Synthetic 10w-50 (5 Litre bottle)

Transmission Oil 4Litre/Diff Oil 1Litre (use the same oil)
Silkolene Syn 5 75w-90 (5Litre bottle)

Coolant 7litres

Trying to source some coolant but I believe Subaru recommend using only genuine Subaru coolant. (they would) I have started a thread on this just a second ago, previous to you posting yours. Check it out. Posted it after finding some interest points on a Legacy forum.

 

7 litres of coolant sounds alot i imagine you mean 50/50 split with water.
that would mean bout 3.5 litres which sounds bout right

 

if its a classic, then 4 litres of castrol syntrax for the gearbox. coolant from halfords is fine.

 

this is my stuff

4 x Silkolene SILKTRAN SYN 5 75W-90 Fully Synthetic Gear Oil
1 x Litres Castrol SAF-XO 75w-90 Synthetic Final Drive Lubricant
5 x Litres silkolene PRO S 10W/50
10 x Litres Motul INUGEL OPTIMAL Coolant (Ready Mixed)
2 x 500ml MOTUL DOT 5.1 BRAKE FLUID

i checked the handbook and it shows 7.6 L coolant

 

Still no help on the coolant isssue. What should we use?

"When adding, replacing or servicing the cooling system always use Genuine Subaru Long Life Coolant.

Genuine Subaru Long Life Coolant is a phosphate (non-amine) type and is specially formulated for all Subaru vehicles equipped with aluminum engines and radiators. Coolant of other types may not provide the proper protection to aid against corrosion of aluminum parts.

If an equivalent must be used, make sure it is a phosphate (non-amine) type. As a reminder, use of Genuine Subaru Long Life Coolant is mandatory on all repairs paid for by Subaru of America, Inc. that require the replenishment of coolant. This holds true for any claim type.

Do not use flushing machines.
If a flushing machine has been used to service other brand vehicles with copper radiators, a chemical reaction between copper ions and Subaru coolant may occur. This could also cause clogging of the radiator.

If regular flushing is required, only use fresh tap water. Do not use hard water. Hard water will create calcium build up which will clog the radiator.

Whenever the coolant is changed, you must add Genuine Subaru Cooling System Conditioner. Genuine Subaru Cooling System Conditioner has been tested and approved for aluminum engines and radiators.

Do not use after-market coolant reinforcement agents, sealers and/or flushing agents as those chemicals could corrode aluminum parts."

 

I got 3litres of coolant on the guidance of my local Subaru service garage. They supplied me with Shell Radiator Fluid. They stated that its what Subaru supply their garages with.

Tank on my03 Subaru STi is 7.1litres. The coolant will be diluted with ionised or distilled water to make up the quantity.

Hope that helps
