it states 75/90 for my04 wrx...... Dont hold me to what im going to say but im sure i read somewhere that some boxes prefer semi synth to fully synth oil... one or the other caused problems if the box didnt have it in before... again thats not gospel i may have just misread something

The only/best oil to use in a wrx gearbox is Castrol Syntrax,same grade but far superior oil.

Think it goes by the name Driveline now
