Go to a web site called Opie oils put your car details in the search and they will give you all the information you are after!!!!

What oil do I need? 75w 90 (Catrol Syntrax is my advice)
How much do I need? (5 litres should be sufficient for gearbox and rear diff)
How mch does it cost? (Not too sure, check Opie Oils as suggested £35-40?)
How do you change it? (Gearbox Oil is drained via plug on the bottom, and refilled using dipstick plug on right of intercooler (drivers side). Rear diff is changed via two plugs on diff itself. Bottom one drains to empty, one above is how far you fill it up)

Thanks

Hope that helps a little.

Don't forget that the 03 STi has two drain plugs on the gearbox/front diff.
